Kasabian make a most welcome return armed with a high-octane new album fuelled by their trademark swagger. Following first tastes ‘Scriptvre’, ‘Alygatyr’ and ‘The Wall’, THE ALCHEMIST’S EUPHORIA heralds a brave new world from Serge Pizzorno’s magic kingdom.
The trajectory Kasabian have followed for THE ALCHEMIST’S EUPHORIA is bold and daring. Guided by a series of self-imposed principles (no lockdown songs, strict track lengths, no lyrics about the band and a loose narrative tracking the journey of the alchemist figure at the record’s heart), the album embraces modern pop production, yet it is also delivers a fresh, emotionally resonant take on not just what Kasabian is, but what a band in the 21st century can be.
With a title that inherently celebrates the joy of creation, the album correspondingly fizzes with an unrestrained yet focused creative energy.

The album was recorded at Pizzorno’s own studio, The Sergery, along with additional sessions in Henley with producer Fraser T Smith (Dave, Stormzy, Anne-Marie) who helped craft several tracks. Having envisioned themselves sailing into the unknown when they first resolved to continue as a band following a well-documented tumultuous period, Kasabian’s voyage in the studio soon took them beyond the creative horizon.
Of the new album, Kasabian’s seventh, Serge says: “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.
“It’s definitely music to make you feel like anything’s possible. And it feels really exciting because, like always, this band can go absolutely anywhere.”
Kasabian are: Serge Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards, drummer Ian Matthews and guitarist Tim Carter.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
