Leicester outfit Kasabian performed their hit new track ‘The Wall’ for the BBC One Women’s Euro Final for the first time.
The track’s release on July 29th comes ahead of the four-pieces forthcoming album The Alchemist’s Euphoria due August 12th.
Written by Serge Pizzorno and produced by Serge and Fraser T Smith, with mixing from Spike Stent, ‘The Wall’ is the fourth advance from The Alchemist’s Euphoria.
Sonically inspired by space and drenched in starlight, the piano driven track is the band at their most vulnerable.
“The Wall was written probably a year ago, maybe even longer. Originally, it was about having a hangover, so it started off a little bit as a joke, but it doesn’t mean that anymore,” Serge said of the track. “It’s weird you start at one place in your head and then as you finish it and read it back you go ‘Actually no, you know what…’ It’s perfect for this album. You hit a f*cking wall, but you get back up again.”
Of the new album Serge adds: “One thing about this record I feel over the other ones, is it definitely feels like a body of work that belongs together. It was a beautiful moment in mastering hearing it as a piece. I think it really holds up in our seven albums….The Magnificent Seven”.
Serge Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards, drummer Ian Matthews and guitarist Tim Carter will be heading on a run of UK shows this Winter, including a sold-out date at London’s Alexandra Palace on 29th October. General tickets on-sale now here.
