Kasabian talk ‘Scripture’ and new album ‘The Alchemist’s Euphoria’: “This is a re-set”
Kasabian have announced details of their first new album since the departure of former frontman Tom Meighan. Check out new single ‘Scripture’ from ‘The Alchemist’s Euphoria’ below, along with our interview with Serge Pizzorno.Having dropped the first taster of their new direction with the single ‘ALYGATYR‘ last year, now the Leicester indie veterans – consisting of chief songwriter Pizzorno, bassist Chris Edwards, drummer Ian Matthews and guitarist Tim Carter following the departure of Meighan after he was convicted of assaulting his then-girlfriend-now-wife in 2020 – return with ‘Scripture’.Co-produced with Fraser T Smith (of Stormzy, Adele, Dave and Sam Smith fame), Pizzorno told NME how the track had “a cinematic elegance to it”, but was driven by “a heartbeat of empowerment”.“It’s just those first eight bars, it’s all you need to know,” he said.
