KASABIAN have admitted that they've adopted a Nirvana-style sound for their new album.
The Leicester rockers revealed that session for their fourth offering has been influenced by the Seattle band as well as Pink Floyd.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, singer Tom Meighan said: "Sergio Pizzorno has got a body of songs that are sounding great. There's one that sounds like Nirvana, which is really grungy, a big riff.
"It's nothing like what we've done on this record, it's really old school grunge. There's a lot of Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon, piano-based songs at the minute."
The band released their third album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum this year, which was nominated for the 2009 Mercury Prize and hailed as the best album of the 2009 by Q Magazine.
Their previous album Empire, was released in 2006, and Meighan added that they hoped to get their fourth LP out next year.
He said: "I think we'll do it a bit quicker this time. We took a good three months off last time, because we toured for about four years and that's the only reason we took that amount of time off, because we toured like crazy.
"I think this time we'll have a few weeks off or a month off, then we'll go into the studio and record the new record. Hopefully we won't wait around so much this time."
