Klaxons' star Jamie Reynolds has revealed the group have been asked to re-record parts of their second album.

He said the band's record label, Polydor, had deemed the follow-up to 2007's 'Myths Of The Near Future' too experimental.

“We’ve been asked to re-record part of the album because we’ve made a dense, psychedelic record,” Reynolds told The Sun newspaper.

“We’ve made a really heavy record and it isn’t the right thing for us - I understand and know that.

“First and foremost, we’re a pop band. I haven’t thought about that for a long time, and now it’s in the forefront of my mind.”

Reynolds added that the group have four weeks to finish the record, which is due this spring.

Klaxons previewed a number of new tracks during a surprise gig in London last month.
