Well, that&#8217;s what I read about these guys, Klaxons. But it&#8217;s a modern psychedelic, not like The Music Machine (original) or Plasticland (neo-psych), or even like the current stoner rock bands. This is more original, although there are moments that remind me of Gaye Bykers on Acid. There are lots of strange sounds and trippy lyrics but absolutely no self-indulgent protracted freak out jam sessions. In fact, most of the songs are pretty rhythmic, even &#8220;sing-along&#8221; and dance-able. My favorite is &#8220;Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned Klaxons a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imheavyduty.com\/2007\/09\/17\/klaxons-gravitys-rainbow-golden-skans\/\">good while back<\/a>.

Nothing retro about Klaxons.
