Kaiser Chiefs Announce New Album, ‘Education, Education, Education & War’

Seemingly channelling a Tony Blair Labour party conference speech, the newly-arranged Kaiser Chiefs have announced details of their fifth album, titled ‘Education, Education, Education & War’.

The Kaisers’ line-up has changed a touch since their last record, with Nick Hodgson quitting the band to form his own label and work as a producer. Frontman Ricky Wilson’s also been recruited as a judge on BBC talent show The Voice.

Ben H. Allen III produces the album, which was mixed at New York’s Electric Lady Studios.

The album tracklist is below. Could it mark the Kaiser Chiefs’ first political turn?
