Klaxons Cover Timberlake's "My Love" on New Single
Post-Coachella, Klaxons may have shifted their focus to saturating European clubs and festivals with their neon-flavored rock goodness (save for their July 15 appearance at our own Pitchfork Music Festival), but they still have the U.S. on their minds. Namely, our futuresexy r&b superstars.
Case in point: their cover of Pitchfork's favorite song of 2006, Justin Timberlake's "My Love", which Klaxons will release as the B-side to another cover, "It's Not Over Yet", originally by Paul Oakenfold. The single is out June 25 in the UK, according to a report from NME.com. (According to the band's U.S. label, Rinse/DGC, no American release is planned at the moment.) Both the CD and etched 7" versions of the single will include "My Love" along with the Justice remix of the A-side.
True to form, the new rave (not new rave) trio have added even more dates to their tour, including a May 20 appearance at BBC Radio 1's free Big Weekend festival.
