Oh my lord, Serge's hair is awful. I love those reviews of the songs though, can't wait to hear them! :bomb:

thanks so much for all that info squareonefivesix... very cool of you!

I got nme this morning on the way to work, then took an unprofessionally long, early break so I could read it :lol: It makes for exciting reading I have to say. The three songs that get reviewed (Switchblade Smile, Velociraptor, Rewired) are described as sounding completely mad & insane.

 

Switchblade Smile:

 

"rumbling, evolving black clooud of techno intensity"

"complex .... full of batshit vim on an epic scale"

"It's heavy as fuck"

"it's got a Beastie Boys edge to it, but it's pure Kasabian really. It's the older brother of Vlad"

 

Velociraptor:

 

a mix of Nirvana and the Prodigy

"probably the first single off the album"

"bubblegum hooligan, noisy, hooky, addictively nutty"

"more violent than Club Foot"

 

Rewired:

 

"ambitious with a sublime melody"

Serge says: "it's a big tune... it lures you in ... it's sleazy"

Tom says: "it's sexy rock.. with some balls, something sexy and a bit wild"

 

Really excited about the sound of these new songs! Can't wait for the new album! :bomb:

That awkward moment when one of your favourite bands writes a song about a dinosaur...

"Velociraptor, he's gunna find ya, he's gunna kill ya, he's gunna eat ya"

 

:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

as opposed to a song about a Doberman? :P

 

anyway, another video of the Velociraptor performance + a video of them performing Switchblade Smile HERE (warning: quite shitty quality)

 

loving the riffs & hooks of the new songs, especially Velociraptor (as long as i ignore the lyrics...especially that chorus :dozey: )! :D

oopsies...

pffft...went from no posts to triple postage! :S

god, I can't wait to hear their new single!! Seen those videos and the new songs seem quite wild! Liking the sound of it :)

sorry dp :(

as opposed to a song about a Doberman? :P

 

haha Good point :lol:

Ahhhhhh that's the first time I've heard one of their new songs, I really really like Velociraptor!! The comical aspect of the chorus is enough to make up for its weirdness :lol:

 

:bomb:

"Velociraptor, he's gunna find ya, he's gunna kill ya, he's gunna eat ya"

 

cunning.

 

This will stick, trust me.

Lyrics that simple with a bassline that good will always stick. Always :awesome:

I think I can safely predict that we'll be driving back from Manchester tomorrow night singing that Velociraptor line. :dance: Argh, 24 hours, I can't wait, it's gunna be a riot :guitarist:

 

Zane Lowe's on the radio in a minute. He's playing Switchblade Smile sooooon :dance: [edit: he's just said he'll be playing itin half an hour, so you guys have got time to tune in, if you can]

Listen now! :bomb:

great!

 

I really liked Switchblade Smile, can't wait to hear more new songs!

It's in the Kasabian d/load thread in MM :nice:

 

yeah, La Fee Verte is a title that's been knocking around for awhile, I think they mentioned that track towards the end of last summer. I reckon, Acid Turkish Bath will be the obligatory instrumental song. They always seem to have at least one. I think it sounds like an instrumental, idk why :shrug:
