Almost two decades in the game, and an extensive back-catalogue of stadium belters, instrumental-prowess, and record-breaking success, Kaiser Chiefs triumphantly return. Right off the back of a storm of note-worthy live-performances (including the Invictus Games opening ceremony, headlining Virgin Radio’s: One Big Thank You key worker show, and a televised performance for ITV’s Queen’s Jubilee celebrations), Kaiser Chiefs release their latest single: ‘How 2 Dance; the first taste of their forthcoming new album which promises to not only see us through the end of this year, but launch fans into 2023 with impeccable swagger, and heritage songwriting. “We really wanted to make a song that put together all the things we were trying to get right over the last three records”, notes frontman Ricky Wilson. “The call to arms of ‘Education, Education, Education and War’ (2014), the party atmosphere of ‘Stay Together’ (2016), and the classic Kaiser-yness of ‘Duck’. Where 2019’s ‘Duck’ straddled the tide between Northern-Soul euphoria and early ‘00s antithesis (in a statement of melancholic perfection), 2022 see’s Kaiser Chiefs stepping into a renewed spotlight; a hook-heightened universe in which Wilson (vocals), Andrew “Whitey” White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Keyboardist Peanut and Vijay Mistry on drums, come together to once again create what they craft best; breakthrough belters for the world’s dancefloor.
