Serge Pizzorno is one of the many to have given a status report to the most recent edition of Q, and has spoken of how he revisited Kasabian‘s new material with a fresh mind after taking the summer off.
“In May the record was done, but I’d never had any time off so I thought, ‘You know what? I’m going to have the summer off for the first time in my life’,” he said (via NME). “It was incredible. I got married, went on holiday for ages and just lived a bit. When I came back in September I decided to graffiti over everything. I’d done everything on an acoustic for the first time and had these beautiful, crafting tunes but started graffiting over the lot, just taking it to another level.”
“I wrote another tune, which is incredible, and then two weeks later I wrote one of the best tunes I’ve ever written, ‘Bless This Acid House’. It’s a beauty.”
Kasabian are tentatively unveiling their 2017 live return, and currently have gigs in Australia and Italy confirmed for later this year.
