Klaxons: 'Our Scrapped Album Was Like MGMT's New Record'

May 26, 2010
Klaxons: 'Our Scrapped Album Was Like MGMT's New Record'Klaxons have revealed that they scrapped an album’s worth of folk songs that they had been working on for a year.

James Righton said the band axed the songs because they didn’t think they represented who they were.

"All we did basically for about a year was listen to folk music so the music we were making got really, really folky, kind of proggy folk," he old XFM.

"We made an album's worth of stuff. It was great music, we were all really happy with it. But it just wasn't us. We thought, this isn't what we are.”

Righton said the band’s scrapped songs were reminiscent of tracks on MGMT’s second album ‘Congratulations’.

“It was fairly similar to the MGMT record... which is still a really good record, but it's not the commercial record the last one was,” he said.

As previously reported, Klaxons debuted new song 'Flashover' on their website yesterday.

The band will play a series of UK shows this summer, starting in Glasgow on July 13.
