Kaiser Chiefs have revealed they will release their new album Off With Their Heads (Universal Motown) on October 28th. The follow-up to last year's hugely successful Yours Truly, Angry Mob will feature contributions from Lily Allen, New York Pony Club and composer David Arnold.
Drummer Nick Hodgson said the album, which has been produced by Mark Ronson and Eliot James, is more dancefloor-based than its predecessor. "I just imagine them in the Leeds Cockpit [where the band started legendary indie club Pigs]. I think we lost that a bit on the last album, but I can imagine these songs being played there," he told NME. He also praised Ronson for his unusual "Phil Spector-style" production techniques. "Sometimes he'd make us all wear sunglasses in the studio! I know it sounds stupid, but we did 'Good Days Bad Days' and wearing sunglasses on it gave it a really different vibe," he said.

Singer Ricky Wilson added "We've got our weirdness back".
Drummer Nick Hodgson said: "Between them we made a good team, a unique team. To be honest I think it's our best album. I'm very excited."
The pair also played down recent comments made by Noel Gallagher on the breakfast show describing them as "The Monkees going under a different name".
"I think he's really clever because every interview I've done in the last week has mentioned Oasis," Ricky said. "So I'm answering questions about their new record and he ends up in everybody's interviews. He is a publicity machine."
The pair also said they refuse to slate other bands because they always end up meeting them at some point.
Nick added: "The big problem is when you slag people off, which we used to do a lot in the old days, you always end up meeting them and it's always embarrassing."
Never Miss A Beat, impacts Alternative on September 9th.
