Mark Ronson to helm 'Kaiser Chiefs mk.III'
Kaiser Chiefs never miss a beat. Wait - sorry, we got that wrong. Kaiser Chiefs experience written a song called Never Miss a Beat. And now they're recording it."We've been hard at work writing, rehearsing and transcription," the band confided in a mailing list message this calendar week. "Firmly at make" is a comfortably vague condition, import anything from dig ditches to noodling in a transcription studio piece label interns feed you peeled grapes.
Simply Kaiser Chiefs want you to know they mean business. "It wholly started with the deuce fresh songs you may have heard on the UK turn at the end of last class: You Want Story and Never Miss a Beat. We went into the studio to record and kept on going."This time, however, they won't be enlisting Stephen Street, the producer responsible for their first-class honours degree deuce albums. Rather, two fresh faces ar working slow the decks. Ace is unfamiliar, the other ... well, you could call him the face-du-jour."There's been a consignment of rumours about what we're doing," the band wrote. "The accuracy is we're workings with Thomas Stearns Eliot James and Mark Ronson at a couple of studios in British capital."Mark Ronson is, of class, er, Crisscross Ronson, he of solo albums, collaborations and (lest we forget) Lily Ethan Allen and Amy Winehouse. Eliot Saint James is what the Chiefs call "a edward Young British people manufacturer we like very a good deal", which is to say he's engineered around soundtracks, remixed Idlewild, and done bits'n'bobs for the Futureheads, Axis Party and, er, S Clubhouse 7."As a geminate they're dynamite and we're enjoying plotting Kaiser Chiefs mk.Tercet with them pressing buttons and turning dials," the band tell us.Kaiser Chiefs mk.Leash? That sounds like a automaton. A gigantic, atomic number 22, laser-touting rock music machine. If we're lucky, Ronson and Epistle of James will convert the band to fighting the album and devote themselves to cybernetics.The Kaiser Chiefs play a "homecoming" gig at Leeds' Elland Route Sports stadium on May 24. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am.
