Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno has shared why after 20 years of music, he is not ready to take a break.
Kasabian has been around since ’97 and they have released six studio albums in that time. At present, the band is taking a break and guitarist Serge Pizzorno is using the break as an opportunity to work on his first solo project.
The project is called “The S.L.P” and it sees psychedelic pop crossing over with rappers Little Simz and Slowthai. The record is bold, experimental, and it is coming out this Friday (August 30).
Speaking with NME, the guitarist explained why he feels compelled to keep making music and is unable to take a break to “you know, watch Coronation Street or something”.
“I just can’t… I feel like I’m being chased by time,” Pizzorno confessed. “I just wanna do stuff, I wanna put stuff out. I do like making things. I pin-point on the art and making it, and don’t really think about the consequences. I didn’t really think about this too much.
“It’s only now that I have to talk about it and it’s like, ‘Oh, you’ve made a record on your own’. I didn’t really think of it like that. Those moments in the studio where it comes together – that’s everything.”
Here’s Pizzorno’s trippy single “Favorites” from the upcoming album.
