Following a euphoric headline slot at Isle Of Wight Festival, Kasabian have dropped the cosmic video for their new single ’CHEMICALS’, the third track from their highly-anticipated new album The Alchemist’s Euphoria, out August 5th on Columbia Records.
A pulsating, guitar driven anthem and the last track the band recorded for the album, ‘CHEMICALS’ is an encompassing pop moment written by Serge Pizzorno and produced by Serge and Fraser T Smith, with mixing from Spike Stent. Shot at 3:21AM in the band’s hometown of Leicester, the video, directed by LOOSE (Idles, Fred Again…, Joy Crookes), sees the band take a hazy trip through the streets in the early hours.
Speaking of “CHEMICALS’ Serge said, “It is me telling myself that it is going to be okay. It was me seeing myself in those few weeks when everything kicked off. It’s the future me saying to that person: ‘This is shit, but don’t worry, it will get better.’ So having a song about talking to yourself is universal, I think. We all have to find a way to deal with the complications, the mess and the mortality of life.”
