Kaiser Chiefs have released the official tracklisting for their latest album, 'The Future Is Medieval'. The Leeds five-piece recently released their fourth studio album in an innovative fashion, allowing fans to choose their favourite 10 tracks out of a potential 20 to form their own personal LP.
However, the band have now revealed the official tracklisting to their finalised versaion of the record, which will be released in physical and digital formats on June 27th.
The band offered a statement on the official release earlier today (June 14th), where they wrote to their fans: "Due to the overwhelming success of this process, it's created lots of chatter, and demand for an ‘official’ album. So it’s time to simplify things a bit, and release a CD and standard digital album of 'The Future Is Medieval'”
“Rather than wait ages where we talk about it for months, send it out to press and all that, we’re just getting it out as soon as we can physically make the CDs and ship them to the shops."
The finalised version of the album will also include a track which the band did not include in the initial 20-song package. Speaking about the sudden inclusion of ‘Kinda Girl You Are’, the band said: "We recorded 23 songs for 'The Future Is Medieval', in amongst the newies we’ve been playing 'Kinda Girl You Are' live at the first few shows, which you seem to be digging.”
They continued: “That one missed the website, simply because it wasn't finished, we were recording and mixing right up until the week of release and 'Kinda Girl You Are' was the last through the gatepost. We recorded that one with our favourite guru Mr Ethan Johns, it will be on the CD version."
