Kasabian Reveal More About New LP

First Tom Meighan described it as “psychedelic”, now guitarist Serge Pizzorno is claiming that Kasabian’s third record is a concept album-esque road movie soundtrack. Interesting.

Not only this, but Pizzorno added that the first three songs on the album are epic, lasting twenty minutes.

He tells xfm: "In a way it's a concept album, like a soundtrack to some mad film. It's like a really good road movie, yeah a road movie...that's what I'd say."

Explaining the direction of the record, he continued: "We built our own studio which has freed us up massively. We've really been experimenting on this album. The first three tracks we've done are twenty minutes long!

"Music's stuck in a reality at the moment and we're going the other way, back into experimentation without structure which is hypnotic and sends you into a trance. It's very psychadelic, real head music that bends you around."

The band are currently finishing the record and will release it at some point in 2008.

Like the sound of this...

First..

Can't wait for another Kasabian album.

Empire and the Debut were both very much stronger than any other modern music at the time, and I hope they can continue with this.

Yeh I agree, I loved the psychadelic aspect to the first album so I think they'll pull this off well.

As much as I love Kasabian, they've totally stolen this concept from QOTSA's Songs For The Deaf.

[j-e-f-f-e-r-s]

Meh, they're not bad. Not as amazing as they proclaim to be, but they know how to put on a live show and have some good songs. Will keep an eye on this...

Except QOTSA didn't invent the idea of a concept album. Try listening around.

You're just very, very stupid and lonely.

I only have one of their albums, I think it's self-titled. I like it a lot. I didn't know they had so many releases?

[banter]

They only have 2 albums - Kasabian and Empire - but they also have a song "Fast Fuse" out that isn't on an album (but apparently will be on the 3rd, which makes it a very early single ).

[genresrforposer]

Never heard of them before but like the song "Empire". Sorta reminds me of Muse

[sambargun]

They are a crazy band. Reminds me early Incubus, the spirit and experimentation that is, not the music.....

[deadlyMETAL]

Kasabian rock, I want to hear more of them. Their music is like Muse's: addicting.
