There’s something enthrallingly strange about Klaxons: the fluorescent, early-’90s streetwear they sport in their strobe-lit, low-budget videos; the mesh of cryptic sci-fi and occult references that constitutes their lyrics; their habit of rubbing sonic scuzz against tender vocal melodies. It’s an immersive, art-school-bred aesthetic that, three or four times on the band’s debut album, makes for some very good music, too. “Atlantis to Interzone” hurtles and throbs, melding siren samples and distorted riffs like a garage-band Chemical Brothers; “Magick” is a psychedelic nightmare with a stomping beat; and “Gravity’s Rainbow” strikes a compromise between punk squall, pretty harmonies and piano vamps. Much of the rest, though, is unmemorable scenery—sustaining the weirdo mood without adding to it.
