What happened to our cultural love affair with the future? In the '70s and '80s, the future was a gaping jaw — a wild mystery spawned from an increasingly technological globalization that was prepared to swallow us whole. While post-modernism (and this Internet thing) may have splayed our love into a billion pieces, that doesn't stop the Klaxons from awakening the spirits of that age with their first video to hit American soil, "Golden Skans." Shot in high speed and set out in the galaxy, the video shows the Klaxons battling the elements of the Universe: water, fire, and, er, some three-dimensional objects. All the while they are dressed in naught but ribbons. The video's coup de grâce involves breaking apart giant, Arkanoidian pills whose contents destroy everything but their utter awesomeness.
