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, spanning a career which celebrates its 10th year with the release of this, their 5th album.
On writing and single-handedly producing the album, guitarist and vocalist Sergio Pizzorno commented: “I felt that we had the confidence to be more direct, more honest with this album. I started to strip away layers rather than to just keep adding.”
The band’s explosive frontman Tom Meighan is perhaps even more direct with his take on the record: “Less is more, you know? It’s direct. It is what it is. Just listen to it. We’ve had the confidence to lay ourselves bare. Serg has stripped it right back. It’s unbelievable.”
Pizzorno has always cited his 3 primary musical references as being electronic music, hip hop and late 60s guitar music; and there has never been a record coming closer to bringing the unexpected marriage of those genres into a singular vision. This is progressive music with roots.
