Kasabian have returned with a new song called Algorithms.
The standalone single shows a departure from the usual sound of the Leicester indie-giants, leaning towards a more poppy aesthetic. It marks their first new music since the release of their 2022 album, 'The Alchemist's Eurphoria'.
Co- produced with Mark Ralph, the track explores AI's emergence into our lives, spotlighting society's reliance on machines. Vocalist Serge Pizzorno said:
"Algorithms is a song that explores the idea that robots can’t experience emotion and being in the moment, whereas humans can, and that is the beauty that separates us…for now."
Head below to view the accompanying video, which was created by the band in collaboration with digital creative studio Uncanny, who said:
"The track distinguishes the difference between human and machine thought/emotion, so we employed a design process that makes a point of both physical and digital techniques wherever possible. Typesetting the artwork, preparing the video on screen, and then physically scanning the artwork and re-filming the animation with hand drawn markings overlaid.
"Facial animations were created by feeding a neural network imagery of Kasabian themselves, asking it to dream up beings that exist latently between the band. The final file was then re-filmed on a bespoke display, not illuminated by RGB pixels but instead magnets, physically moving coloured particles around the screen."
