Album Review: Kasabian - Velociraptor!

Kasabian - 'Velociraptor!' (UK Release: 19 Sept '11) // Words: Rajan Lakhani

For a city whose musical heritage had consisted previously of Showaddywaddy and Englebert Humperdinck, Kasabian were a huge blessing. I went to their concert at De Montfort Hall, Leicester in 2006 and their connection with the locals was extraordinary. Their last album, 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum', was my album of the year in 2009, with its weird yet entrancing blend of hip-hop, electronic and psychedelia.
