Off With Their Heads

About the Artist A mere eighteen months since the release of their second album Yours Truly, Angry Mob, which saw Leeds' Kaiser Chiefs have the best selling UK rock album of last year, they are set to unleash their third long-player. The multi-million selling bands 3rd album, entitled Off With Their Heads, is slated for Stateside release via Universal Motown and was produced in its entirety by Mark Ronson. 2008's Producer of the Year Grammy winner, Mark Ronson has worked his magic again. Testing his skill with one of Britain's biggest rock bands, the team has created an impressive synergy and the record bears a more expansive sound of any Kaiser record to date. With backing vocals from Lily Allen and New Young Pony Club, it sees the band add to their ever bulging bag of hit singles. Kicking off with the somewhat incongruous "Spanish Metal" before launching into "Never Miss A Beat" - the first single off the record, the album has a powerful launch. "Like It Too Much" replete with lush orchestral arrangements from Bond & Bjork maestro David Arnold is a rousing classic Kaisers number which sits comfortably alongside the likes of album highlights "You Want History" and "Good Days Bad Days"; the latter underpinned by keyboard arrangements conjuring up New York disco morphed with Talking Heads-like brilliance, whilst in its wake creeps up the Kaiserdelic "Tomato In The Rain," heralded by its Hammond Organ and great lyrics. "Half The Truth" more than nods to the likes of XTC and comes with a contribution from UK grime artist Sway, meanwhile friend and musical ally Lily Allen contributes backing vocals to "Always Happens Like That" before the psychedelic bent continues when drummer Nick Hodgson resumes vocal duties on album closer "Remember You're Girl", sounding like a long lost John Lennon track from the mid-70's. Off With Their Heads was produced by Mark Ronson and Eliot James at RAK and Eastcote Studios in London in the Spring of 2008. It was mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, LCD Soundsystem, Run DMC) at Soundtrack Studios, New York. Product description KAISER CHIEFS Off With Their Heads (2008 UK 11-track CD album - Produced by Mark Ronson & Eliot James Off With Their Heads could / should be described as being the first proper Kaiser Chiefs album with a solid base on which is constructed aseries of tracks which come together as an altogether less frenetic and more cohesive piece of work than previous outings and is almost certainly the better for it. Including the single Never Miss A Beat [complete with backing vocals from Lily Allen & New Young Pony Club] plus Half The Truth which more than nods to the likes of XTC and comes with a contribution from UK grime artist Sway; before Lily contributes backing vocals to Always Happens Like That.)
