Kasabian's Serge on new music: "I wrote one of the best tunes I’ve ever written"

Kasabian recently unveiled a preview of a new song and member Serge Pizzorno has opened up about the band's new material during an interview with Q magazine. 

He explained that some of their new music is "the best" of their career: "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’. 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 graffitiing over the lot, just taking it to another level. I wrote another tune, which is incredible, and then two weeks later I wrote  .”

Pizzorno added: “[It’s called] ‘Bless This Acid House’. It’s a beauty. It’s a mad time, with what’s been happening – it felt like the world was caving in around me. But I felt that everyone had said enough, like everyone had had their say, so this tune is just pure positive energy. I went round my mate’s house and he’s got this [Jeremy Deller-designed] poster and I thought, ‘I love that’, so I wrote a tune about it, but now I’m finished.”

The band announced a series of live dates that will take place in July in Italy, and it is expected that more tour dates will be confirmed soon.
