Klaxons Consider Turning To Hip-Hop

Klaxons have announced that they’re already considering the options for their second album – which could involve a drastic sound change.

Not content with the phenomenal success of, ‘Myths of The Near Future,’ the trio have said that they want to make a hip-hop album next.

In response to the number of high-profile urban-rock collaborations of recent months – including Chris Martin and Jay-Z – the band's singer James Righton said, "I think it's exciting that white boys can work with big R&B producers.”

Talking in more detail to MTV, the singer added: "We would very much like to make an R&B record. If we could afford it." 

The band cited Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre as their main two targets, but weren’t sure whether label loyalties in the US would prevent the collaboration from happening.
