In the studio with Kasabian: 'We never thought we'd see success again'
The rock band invite us into the studio to talk about the unexpected "third act" of their career.
Serge Pizzorno, the frontman of Kasabian, reveals that a little bit of hunger can be beneficial for creative work. He operates in his home recording studio, known as "The Sergery," where he bans snacks and phones to minimize distractions. Working in focused four to five-hour sessions, often to David Lynch films, contrasts with Kasabian's earlier days, where he would stay up for days to find inspiration.
The artist prefers a structured routine, which has led to his latest album, Act III, which he previews with the BBC 10 days before its release. Known for their distinctive sound, the band introduces a new musical direction, incorporating hooks and powerful choruses reminiscent of Elton John, while also addressing societal critiques through their music.
