Following on from the release of their much-loved LP 'The Alchemist’s Euphoria' last year, Kasabian have now returned to share a brand new single.
The new track 'Algorithms' marks their first piece of new material so far this year, and comes accompanied by a stunning lyric video, created by digital designers Uncanny.
Speaking about the new offering, the band's 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.”
While Uncanny added about the visuals, “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.”
