Kasabian have posted a video of behind-the-scenes footage from their new video online, featuring guest Noel Fielding joking that Serge Pizzorno is spending the shoot “nude most of the time and playing bagpipes”.
The footage shows the band and a troupe of dancers wearing fleshtone smocks and boxing gloves while performing cheerleader dance routines in a gym hall while being watched over by dancing doctors from an upper window, and also features This Is England star Stephen Graham.
Although guitarist Serge is only seen fully clothed and wearing bandages on his head, Noel Fielding confides to camera “We’re mid-shoot. It’s been going pretty badly actually. Tom [Meighan, singer] has had a breakdown. I don’t know what Serge is doing, he’s nude most of the time and playing bagpipes. It’s embarrassing.”
“The new stuff’s a bit more like Showaddywaddy,” Fielding also jokes, “and I’m not sure that’s the direction they should be going in… still, Serge gets me in, I do stuff for him… he’s blackmailing me, he’s got some stuff on me, he’s got some pictures of me in compromising positions with a newt by the pond… the pictures are pretty exotic. If they’re released some people might go blind.”
Kasabian recently announced that their follow-up album to 2014’s ’48:13’, rumoured to be called 'You're In Love With A Psycho', is complete via a Twitter post of Serge’s notebook with song titled crossed out and the words ‘ALBUM DONE’ written across a page.
