Dance, dance.
Klaxons - Xan Valleys EP Rachel Lux on 4/10/07 @ 5:15 PM
[4/5] Listening to the Klaxons makes you want to go to a party. Not just any party, but a huge blowout bash with bright, colorful lights, glow sticks hanging around everyone's neck and a packed, sweaty dance floor where the raucous U.K. trio's frantic beats and prancing synth has got the crowd moving.
Xan Valleys is only a small sampling of what the setlist at this party would entail, with three originals, two remixes and a cover of '90s rave hit "The Bouncer," but it's enough to see why the Klaxons ignite your primal urge to kick up your heels and wave a hot-pink glow stick around your head. The repetitive, slightly processed music is borderline club fodder, so it's no surprise the group has been branded "new-rave," but there's clearly more to them than just that. Just hope when the band yelps, "If you're not on the list, you're not getting in," they aren't talking about you.
