The glitter on the snow
the place to always go
Do what you will
Do what you will

It's Not Over Yet
4 Horsemen Of 2012
If the album is as good as the singles it'll be worth checking out. It's refreshing to hear a band refrencing Crowley who have a sence of humour. I'm surprised that what with the growing interest in thelema, there's not more new bands quoting Crowley, in no matter how trivial a way.
The titles of the tracks also reference Burroughs , Pynchon, and Ballard(the albums title) amongst others, so I wouldn't get too excited that this is a thelemic band. Album of the year is a bit premature considering it's only January 27th. But I'll certainly check them out.
From today's UK The Observer (New rave is dead; long live the Klaxons <>):
That old rascal Aleister Crowley gets exhumed once again. 'Do what you will,' urges 'Magick', abetted by an irresistible on-beat...
Then it’s back to the familiar with a stomp through ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’, Klaxons’ opening single, still sounding fresh and firin’ with it’s "Come with me/Come with me/We’ll travel to infinity" chorus. This neatly segues into third single ‘Magick’, with it’s references to the Order of the Golden Dawn, stop-start motifs, and pleading that we should "Do what you will." Early 20th century occultist and druggy mountaineer Aleister Crowley gathers yet another rock classic to his tribute collection.
