Released in 2009 on Blast First Petite, The Klaxons / Suicide is part of a special series celebrating the 70th birthday of Alan Vega, the legendary frontman of pioneering electronic act Suicide. This split EP brings together three distinct artists — Mercury Prize-winning nu-rave outfit Klaxons, the man himself Alan Vega, and avant-garde electronic artist No Bra — each contributing their own interpretation of Vega's singular musical universe.
Klaxons deliver a striking take on "Sweetheart," complete with a cartoonish goth-Elvis croon that pays homage to Vega's iconic style, while Vega himself commands "Speedway" with unmistakable authority. No Bra rounds out the EP with the eerie, lo-fi electronic wanderings of "Super Subway Comedian," making this a compelling and eclectic showcase of artists united by their reverence for one of rock and electronic music's true originals.
