Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno has revealed his reasons for going solo and what to expect from his new project, The S.L.P.
Speaking with NME, Pizzorno explained how his decision to go solo was born out of finally getting some time off from Kasabian, who have pretty much been consistently releasing music since 1997.
“Kasabian organized some time off, and I’ve never afforded myself that luxury – well, none of us have really,” he revealed. “We’ve never stopped. I found a perfect little window to experiment and see where that took me. I just enjoyed that freedom of being able to do whatever.
“I had been writing notes in my phone. I was interested in people having these online personas and this perfect projection of themselves; do you know what I mean? This is what we put out there, but in reality, none of us are really like that.”
He then went onto explain how technology has influenced his project and answered the question of whether a solo album is on its way.
He said: “It’s a question of identity in the digital age. We flick through all these photos to choose the favorite, go out on a date and move on before it’s even ended.”
Regarding the possibility of an album, he sounds optimistic: “There may be. We’re going to see how it goes. I’m never out of the studio. That’s my place. I’m always writing, always working. Luckily that’s my job.”
So watching this space.
