So Kasabian are back and will release their oddly titled third album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum on June 8th 2009. Supposedly, this is the name of a real mental institution. I don't have a tracklisting but as soon as I get it I will post ASAP but I do know that the first track off it will be 'Underdog' and there will be a duet with actress Rosario Dawson called 'West Ryder/Silver Bullet'.The first single 'Vlad the Impaler' was available for free download from their website on the 31st of March. However, it stopped being available on April 3rd but you can still see the video here:
The next single is 'Fire' (officially released on June 1st) and they did it again by releasing another amazing video. Both 'Vlad the Impaler' and 'Fire' have interesting story based videos rather than just performance videos that many other rock bands tend to favour. The music video avenue has gone through what I see as a huge downturn because chart topping singers and band's videos tend to dominate music channels even though their videos are essentially horrible. The less mainstream artists that produce the great videos never get the airtime they deserve e.g. Sigur Rós. Well enough of the ranting check out the video below, tis' THE BEST!!
