Happenings, however, presents listeners with a distinctive musical shift. Co-produced by Mark Ralph – best known for his work with Clean Bandit, Jax Jones and Years & Years – it occasionally feels like Pizzorno’s distortion-laden equivalent of Coldplay’s Max Martin-assisted pivot towards pop. If that’s not a comparison you suspect is going to go down terribly well with Kasabian themselves (their former frontman once described Coldplay as “alright if you’re 35 and feeling sad that your mortgage repayments have gone up”), it does seem weirdly apropos. Not merely because the sound is often noticeably more neon-hued than previously, but because there’s a distinct hint of Chris Martin about the wordless woah-oh-ing vocal hooks on Passengers and Italian Horror.
