Kaisers shun albums in favour of new formats

The Kaiser Chiefs have revealed that they won't be packaging their new material into the form of an album.

After becoming "bored" with the traditional music industry cycle of releasing an album every two years, the Brit Award winners are to release their music in more unusual formats.

"We mentioned mini-albums and double EPs, but we've got no fixed plans yet," drummer Nick Hodgson told the NME. "We want to break the routine of having to make an album every two years. It's totally boring.

"In the charts there are tons of indie bands playing chords and singing songs about the weekend. We're going to be doing the opposite and being the best."

Yours Truly, Angry Mob, the Kaiser Chiefs' most recent album, debuted at number one upon its February 2007 release.
