Kasabian have delayed the release of their ninth album, 'Act III'.
The follow-up to 2024's 'Happenings' was originally scheduled for release on July 17, but the Leicester indie giants have confirmed it will now arrive on September 4. Posting on Instagram, they wrote:
"We’ve had the album back on the operating table for a few final adjustments. We couldn’t send it out into the world without getting everything just right, albums are forever! Trust us, it’ll be worth the wait."
Alongside the news, the band have shared a third track from the abum, SUPERPOWERS, a synthy, G-Funk-inspired offering that combines their swaggering indie-rock sound with dance beats and a festival-ready chorus. On the motivation behind the release, frontman Serge Pizzorno said: "I remember hearing Doggy Style by Snoop in my mate’s XR2, one of those tracks that makes you go “what?” because you’ve never heard anything quite like it. When we recorded ‘SUPERPOWERS’ it was the first time I really felt like the sound that I could hear in my head was what came out of the speakers."
The song arrives with an album teaser trailer starring acclaimed British actor Stephen Graham, who recites the lyrics alongside Pizzorno.
"Audition tapes have always fascinated me, Pizzorno explained. "There’s something incredible about seeing a performance in its rawest form. I wanted to bring that feeling to life by turning the song’s lyrics into a script and presenting it as an audition tape. Getting to work with Stephen Graham, one of Britain’s greatest actors, was a true honour. Watching him take the songs into a completely new space brought a whole new depth and meaning to the lyrics."
Ahead of its release, they'll play a huge show at Finsbury Park next Saturday (July 4), their biggest London headline show to date, before appearances at several festivals across the UK and Europe, including Mad Cool Festival, Boardmasters, Victorious Festival and Leeds Festival. Tickets are on sale.
