  • "Gravity's Rainbow" is a song by British act Klaxons which appears on their album Myths of the Near Future. It is named after Thomas Pynchon's novel of the same name. The song was first released on Angular Records as a Double A-side with "The Bouncer" in March 2006 and was limited to 500 copies on 7" vinyl only . In September 2006, it was released on 12" vinyl with three remixes of the track. It reached a peak position of number 35 on the UK Singles Chart. Upon its initial release, FACT named it their seven-inch single of the year for 2006. The track was re-released in 2007, with a remix from Soulwax, a new Erol Alkan-produced track "Electrickery" and a live version of the track. For the re-release of "Gravity's Rainbow" the band reshot the music video. The track was also used in the new Tony Hawk game 'Project 8'. The track has now been covered by rave veterans Kicks Like a Mule (Klaxons covered KLAM's "The Bouncer" on the Xan Valleys EP). Jamie from the band posted on KLAM's MySpace page that they "couldn't be more honoured. " The track has also been covered by The Central Band of the Royal British Legion, and in a short instrumental by Muse at Wembley Stadium on June 17 2007. French electro artist Kavinsky has also made a remix version. There are two videos for this track, the original was shot in a basement using props belonging to the band members and took in total total 72 hours to complete. Interestingly (during the babies scene) in the original video an album cover from Frankie Valli and his band the Four Seasons is shown- Klaxons later covered their track "The Night" as a b-side of their single It's Not Over Yet. The new version of Gravity's Rainbow was made to accompany the re-release of the single and includes scenes reminiscent to those in the original, this version is also one of only two Klaxons videos that feature their drummer Steffan Halperin.
