Kaiser Chiefs released their fourth studio album, The Future is Medieval, on Friday via a brand new digital platform on www.kaiserchiefs.com through Fiction / B-Unique Records. Fans heard about the release of the new record for the first time on Friday, the same day they are given the chance to purchase the new music.
The album is the sound of a group in prolific form as evidenced by the quality of all 20 tracks released today. The band's intention is to create a music experience that can be shared and enjoyed by all and, at the same time, revitalize and subvert the industry standard.
