Directed by: Aitor Throup
Kasabian, who recently closed out the world’s largest music festival playing to 100,000 fans on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, are poised to bring their renowned live show to North American clubs this fall. The tour leads into the release of their latest, and most accomplished album, 48:13, on Harvest Records on October 7th. PRESS HERE to watch the brand new video for UK single “Bumblebee”.
In the UK, Europe and multiple other countries 48:13 is already an unstoppable juggernaut, a critically acclaimed monster hit, providing the lauded English 5-piece with their fourth consecutive #1 album. Much like their dance/rock forefathers, New Order, Kasabian’s position in British pop history was cemented long ago, but with 48:13 they’re forging a path into international territory. It’s been 10 years since Kasabian’s inception and they’ve never sounded more vital.
What is an album, but the sum of all its parts? 48:13 consists of 13 tracks, accumulating to a total running time of 48 minutes and 13 seconds. The distinct sound and integrity of Kasabian’s fifth studio album defines the very essence of the band, their trademark sound distilled and re- packaged into one incredibly exciting, unique statement of intent. 48:13 is driven by the continuous evolution and musical experimentation of the band through their previous 4 albums.
The album’s first U.S. radio single, “Eez-eh”, shows just one end of the spectrum of possibilities showcased by guitarist Sergio Pizzorno‘s songwriting and production. A relentless all-night anthem which has filled mosh-pits across Europe since the start of the summer. The video for “Eez-eh” was directed by the acclaimed artist and designer Aitor Throup, who has taken the role of Creative Director of the album. PRESS HERE to watch.
