Kasabian announce their 5th studio album 48:13

Kasabian have announced details of their new album 48:13.

The band's fifth LP - named after its overall running time - will be released on June 9, preceded by lead single 'Eez-eh' on June 2.

Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno said of the record: "I felt that we had the confidence to be more direct, more honest with this album. I started to strip away layers rather than to just keep adding."

Singer Tom Meighan added: "Less is more, you know? It's direct. It is what it is. Just listen to it. We've had the confidence to lay ourselves bare. Serge has stripped it right back. It's unbelievable."

The tracklist for 48:13 will be as follows:

'(Shiva)'

'Bumblebee'

'Stevie'

'(Mortis)'

'Doomsday'

'Treat'

'Glass'

'Explodes'

'(Levitation)'

'Clouds'

'Eez-eh'

'Bow'

'SPS'

Meighan previously described the new album as "as good as it gets" for the band.

"If we were on a mountain, we're at the top of Mount Everest now," he claimed. "We've stuck the flag in and we're saluting it. Top of the world, mate - that's where we are."

Kasbian will headline this year's Glastonbury Festival on Sunday, June 29.
