BOOK NOW
Recently, Ricky Wilson was travelling on the London Underground when he pressed play on a finished mix of the huge new Kaiser Chiefs anthem People Know How To Love One Another. โShit man, weโve done it,โ the frontman thought to himself. Heโs still taken by that feeling of triumph, that the band have reclaimed the creative swagger that underpins their best work. โItโs undeniably fantastic and undeniably Kaiser Chiefs,โ says Wilson, exhilarated by the restorative energy at the heart of the quintetโs forthcoming new record Duck. โWhat this album is about is regaining trust in the fact I enjoy what I do. At some point, Iโd forgotten that was a big part of it.โ
Fifteen years into a career that, bar a few bumps in the road, has followed a constant upward trajectory, Wilson, Andrew โWhiteyโ White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Peanut (keyboards) and Vijay Mistry (drums) hit new creative peaks on their seventh record. โItโs more exciting than itโs ever been,โ says Wilson. โEvery time thereโs a big obstacle, it just gets blown away in the wind like a dandelion. Weโre still selling out arenas but under the radar. We can make albums forever.โ
Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
Duck finds one of the most successful British guitar bands of the millennium connecting the dots, these songs harking back to the everyday explorations and poignant observations of their breakthrough early albums. โWe wanted to do something that had a Kaiser Chiefs DNA but still try and do something different,โ says Rix. โThe intention was to make a really Kaiser Chiefs-y record but weโve managed to do something that doesnโt sound like anything weโve done before. It has the right spirit.โThe grand themes of these songs operate at street level, tracks about love, hope and loss, about fatherhood and the warm melancholy of nostalgia. Wilson has always put himself front and centre without ever truly revealing himself. Here he lets the mask slip a little. โWe all have difficulties relationship-wise, family-wise, bereavements, and itโs all in there,โ he says. โItโs absolutely beautiful.โ
