Kasabian: 'New LP inspired by Nirvana'

Kasabian have revealed that sessions for their new album have been influenced by Nirvana and Pink Floyd.

The Leicester group, who released third LP West Rider Paper Lunatic Asylum in June, are looking to put out their fourth album in autumn 2010.

"Sergio Pizzorno has got a body of songs that are sounding great," singer Tom Meighan told BBC 6 Music. "There's one that sounds like Nirvana, which is really grungy, a big riff."

He continued: "It's nothing like what we've done on this record, it's really old school grunge. There's a lot of Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon, piano-based songs at the minute."

"I think we'll do it a bit quicker this time," he added. "We took a good three months off last time, because we toured for about four years and that's the only reason we took that amount of time off, because we toured like crazy.

"I think this time we'll have a few weeks off or a month off, then we'll go into the studio and record the new record. Hopefully we won't wait around so much this time."
