UK dance act Klaxons have been forced to re-record sections of their second album after Universal Records, their parent record label, questioned its commercial viability.
The as yet unnamed followup to the immensely successful “Myths Of The Near Future” again features James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco fame as Producer, but according to NME the recording process hasn’t all been smooth sailing.
“Yes [we were asked to re-record part of the album],” said Bassist Jamie Reynolds “Because we’ve made a really dense, psychedelic record. We’ve made a really heavy record and it isn’t the right thing for us, I understand and know that. First and foremost we’re a pop band. I haven’t thought about that for a long time, and now it’s in the forefront of my mind.”
Reynolds said that now they had embarked on writing new songs to add to the album. “We’ve got another four weeks,” he said. “At the end of those four weeks everything should be dealt with.”
Wow, compromise much?
