Duck

Duck is the sound of one of the most successful British guitar bands of the millennium reclaiming the creative swagger that underpins their strongest work. "It's undeniably fantastic and undeniably Kaiser Chiefs," says front man Ricky Wilson.

At the start of 2018, Duck started to take shape during recording sessions in Wales and England. Duck was recorded and mixed with producer Ben H. Allen, who previously collaborated with the band on 2014's number one album Education, Education, Education & War. Other production collaborators include and Iain Archer (Liam Gallagher, James Bay) with additional mixing by Mark "Spike" Stent (U2, Ed Sheeran, Arcade Fire) who worked with Kaiser Chiefs on defining single Everyday I Love You Less and Less. It's a record that harks back to the everyday explorations of their breakthrough early albums. "We wanted to do something that had a Kaiser Chiefs DNA but still try and do something different" says bassist Simon Rix. "It has the right spirit".
