Love Frequency brings the same eighties synth pop that made their debut so special and adds extra nineties disco, layering it over indie ethos that churn out fun, experimental tunes capable of turning the worst of nights into 'MDMAzing' ones. There's some charming about Klaxons who ooze freedom as they take the listener on a cosmic adventure where dreams are made.
The album is bookended by two contrasting, compelling numbers that show how far the trio (the drummer still doesn't count, right?) have come since their art school days. The title track closes proceedings with pop subtlety done brilliant whilst New Reality opens with Daft Punk vibes before exploding into a massive dance anthem which the band could have only dreamt of writing in the new rave days as it thuds with emphatic beats.
There Is No Other Time shows Hurts the real way to reinvent eighties pop as they work synths and silky vocals effortlessly, it's impossible not to shake your hips too! The Dreamers highlights their ambitions as it plays towards sixties psychedelia whilst the odd addition of instrumental track Liquid Light strangely works. Show Me A Miracle has a fresh flow with a mega hook that sticks in your head for days then there is typical Klaxons space-aged sounds with Atom To Atom and Out Of The Dark.
I thought this bands career was over the moment Surfing The Void landed but this is a wonderful u-turn with so much potential ahead.
