Kasabian’s new album, due for release in October, will feature the songs Switchblade Smile, Neon Noon, Goodbye Kiss, I Hear Voices, Shelter From The Storm and Velociraptor – a song described by singer Tom Meighan as “mega punk fucking aggression”.

The band have been working on the record in San Francisco with Dan The Automator, who produced their last album, 2009’s West Ryder Lunatic Pauper Asylum, and according to an NME interview with guitarist Serge Pizzorno that the album “makes you feel great. Get your fucking jacket on, whack your fucking shoes on. It makes you believe things are going to happen.”

Last month Pizzorno told The Leicester Mercury that “it’s epic. It’s big songs that make you feel like anything’s possible. It’s a really positive record. I suppose it’s a combination of all three records but we’ve just taken it a bit further. I’m really excited about it, because after the last record, people really liked it and wanted to know what was next, and I’m happy to say that it’s got better. I’m excited about playing it live – there are tunes on there that are going to take people to a new place.”
