Their first first EP, Xan Valleys, was released on 16 October 2006, and contained their first two singles alongside some remixes.
Following the release of numerous 7-inch singles on different independent record labels, as well as the success of previous singles "Magick" and "Golden Skans", the band released their debut album, Myths of the Near Future on 29 January 2007. The album won the 2007 Nationwide Mercury Prize.
After headlining their first tour (the 2007 NME Indie Rave Tour), as well as playing numerous festivals and headlining tours worldwide, the band started working on their follow-up album in October 2007.
HMV describes Klaxons as "acid-rave sci-fi punk-funk", a phrase lifted directly from Tim Chester's Radar feature in NME, while their MySpace page touts 'Psychedelic / Progressive / Pop'. However, they are one of the isolated acts being referred to as 'Nu Rave', a genre term coined by Angular Records founder Joe Daniel, who released the trio's first single. Though the band's sound is decidedly art rock, they draw upon some less common influences - notably the rave culture of the 1990s, which they appropriate and redefine in a post-modern fashion. Their influences are perhaps most represented in their covers of rave hits "The Bouncer" by Kicks Like a Mule and "Not Over Yet" by Grace. Both tracks have since been released by the band, the first as part of a double a-side with "Gravity's Rainbow" in March 2006 and the latter as a single on June 25, 2007 titled "It's Not Over Yet".
While the band are consistently hailed as the defining act of the sparsely-populated Nu Rave movement, Klaxons have worked to avoid being typecast as champions of the disputed genre that may or may not exist. Indeed, it is questionable whether or not the style referred to as "New Rave" is even appreciably different from the older genre dance-punk. Even so, Klaxons member Jamie Reynolds expressed no regrets at the dubious honor, saying that "...it's great that it started as an in-joke and became a minor youth subculture"
Klaxons recorded a song All Rights Reversed with Chemical Brothers on their album We Are The Night(2007).

Golden Skans
Klaxons Lyrics
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
Set sail from sense, bring all her young
Set sail from where we once begun
While we wait, while we wait
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
We sailed from sense, brought all our young
We sailed from where we once begun
While we wait, while we wait
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
A hall of records or numbers or spaces still undone
Ruins or relics, disciples and the young
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands
Light touched my hands in a dream of golden skans
From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands

From now on, you can forget all future plans
Night touched my hands with the turning, golden skans
From the night to the light, all plans are golden in your hands

I have literally been trying to find this song for atleast 12 years....I heard it in the middle of the night during summer vacation my sophomore year in highschool and it’s been stuck with me ever since...I never knew the lyrics, just the melody of how the chorus went and nobody knew what it was....and hear it is...in the middle of the night 10+ years later, as I’m putting my one month old daughter to sleep in the middle of the night...I’m humming it to her and she hits the microphone on my phone by accident. google hears me humming the song and pulls it right up...funny how the universe works! I am content with life totally at this point!

Finding a song you can’t remember is the best feeling. There’s really only one more song that i don’t remember and am still looking for.
Adda Justiniano
exactly the same for me! since like 2007
DigitalMesh
That, is a great story.
André Barros
Wow! Incredible! Your story! But also I didn't know Google could recognize a song just from humming. I tried and it really worked!
hello world
I still remember the exact moment I first listened to this song. It was 2007, I was 13 and watching MTV at my grandma's house, it was like 9:00pm and had to get back home minutes later. As I was there, alone having my daily dose of cable tv this song appeared. The first seconds of the melody blew my head off, I had never ever listened to something like that before and fell in love with it instantly. I downloaded it from Limewire along with their other singles from their first album. They were one of my favorite bands during that era and this exact song is one that defined that age for me. Seven years later I found Myths Of The Near Future in a record store and bought it without hesitating. Now I'm listening to that CD again with hifi headphones and it's like listening to it for the first time again, but much better and fun. Man, so many feelings right now. Thank you Klaxons for inventing this song.
