Kasabian Talk Third Album Influences

Kasabian have revealed some early details of their new studio long-player, expected for release in the coming months.

Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno told BBC 6 Music of how the LP is shaping up: "You hear it in a row. It takes you places and you build pictures in your head. It's a real journey and it also will fill a dance floor. It's about people joining in and I think that's what we're about."

Pizzorno also discussed the eclectic influences Kasabian have embraced on the record, adding: "There's a couple of songs that kind of went New York [Rolling] Stones and there's definitely one song that sounds like Daft Punk and The Clash together, which is quite interesting."

Producer Dan 'The Automator' Nakamura (Gorillaz producer) worked on the songs and Sergio explained how he improved the material: "We've always been really funky and we've always had a real groove, and I think he helped with pulling things out and being more rhythmic rather than throwing loads of instruments at it. I think it's definitely got more rhythm."
