Bottom/ Surfing The Void (Polydor Records, 2010) is the second studio album by British alternative rock band Klaxons. The album was produced by "The Godfather of Nu Metal" Ross Robinson, and was recorded in Los Angeles, California. Bassist and vocalist Jamie Reynolds described the work as a "prog doom" album. Media response to Surfing the Void was generally favorable, with many professional reviews commented on the band's progression from their 2007 debut album, Myths of the Near Future. BBC reviewer Andy Fyfe noted the band's move away from their New Rave labelling, comparing the band favorably to The Prodigy and Depeche Mode. HMV describes Klaxons as "acid-rave sci-fi punk-funk", a phrase lifted directly from Tim Chester's Radar feature in NME. Though the band's sound is rock-based, they draw upon some less common influences - notably the rave culture of the 1990s, represented in their covers of rave hits "The Bouncer" by Kicks Like a Mule and "Not Over Yet" by Grace. Top/ Say It is the second studio album by Canadian indie rock band Born Ruffians, released on June 1st, 2010, by Paper Bag Records in Canada and Warp Records worldwide. They have toured with artists such as Franz Ferdinand, Caribou, Hot Chip, The Hidden Cameras and Tokyo Police Club. In 2009 they recorded a cover of two Aphex Twin songs for Warp20 (Recreated), a compilation. Say It is the follow-up to their 2008 LP, Red, Yellow & Blue. Born Ruffians, formerly known as Mornington Drive, are a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2004, originally from Midland, Ontario, located near Georgian Bay. They are currently signed to Warp Records.
