Kasabian have discussed their brand new studio album, 48:13, saying that Kanye West was more of a influence than rock bands when recording their fifth record.
The band will headline Sunday night of Glastonbury 2014 and have recently revealed their new single and video, 'Eez-Eh'. In a new interview with NME, Tom Meighan spoke of his influences on new album, claiming he wanted to 'really f**k it up'.
"I suppose you go out there to make ear-bleeding music, but done in a good way," he told the magazine. "Not done like some shitty metal rock bands from America, we do it in our way, like a Kanye West way, really fuck it up, fusion it."
The band have made no secret of their Kanye West inspiration, having previously told Q Magazine in January 2014 that influences on the album included Nirvana, Kanye West and Death Grips.

"The new album, we just feel excited, it's like anything that's new, you build it up and work on it for so long," he added in the NME interview. "We went and recorded it in Richmond just before Christmas and we're massively excited.
"We took some time out, it's our fifth baby, we're more excited because we've stepped up a bit, stepped a lot up, actually."
