KASABIAN - WEST RYDER PAUPER LUNATIC ASYLUM


Kasabian are an English rock band from Leicester, England. The band members are from the Leicestershire villages of Blaby and Countesthorpe. They met while attending Leysland High School and Countesthorpe Community College both in the village of Countesthorpe. The band took their name from Linda Kasabian, the young pregnant girl who drove the car in which the killers escaped after the murder of Sharon Tate and four others, on the first night of the Tate-LaBianca murders. The band has been compared with the likes of Primal Scream, with whom they share an electronica-indie rock fusion, and The Stone Roses and Oasis, with whom they share confidence, swagger and rough vocal style.

'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' is the third studio album by English alternative rock band Kasabian, which was released on June 8th 2009. Kasabian have always had an electronic element to their style, but their tongue-twisting third album showcases this part of their sound, with one track being described as sounding like 'Daft Punk and The Clash together'. The album, produced by American hip-hop producer Dan the Automator, who is best known for his work on the Gorillaz' first album, is also more psychedelic than previous efforts, mirroring close friends and touring partners Oasis' most recent record, 'Dig Out Your Soul'. The name of the album was taken from West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, which was a mental institution built in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England in the 1800s. Its name was later changed to High Royds Psychiatric Hospital. The hospital was closed down in 2003.
In an interview with T4 the band stated that each track is meant to represent an inmate within the asylum. This is also the reasoning behind the selected clothing on the album's cover. 'Fire', was released as the first official single on June 1st 2009.
