Klaxons have revealed they are enlisting the help of a number of different producers as they continue work on a new album, one of which is The Chemical Brothers‘ Ed Simons.
In telling BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe that the recording process for their third studio album has proved to be a ‘learning curve’ for the band, bassist Jamie Reynolds revealed:
“We’ve worked with loads of different people, but it’s been a learning process I think. We have learned to make electronic music with computers, that’s been our mission over the last however long.”
“It’s been about a year’s worth of learning electronics and computers, which is something that we didn’t know anything about. I wouldn’t know how to have made an electronic drumbeat until this time last year.”
Klaxons won the 2007 Mercury Music Prize for their debut LP ‘Myths Of The Near Future‘, and followed that record just over three years later with ‘Surfing The Void‘.
