Duck
The Leeds lads are casually confident on their seventh(!) record, which boasts everyman anthems and a reference to sitcom hero Frasier Crane
Review at a glance"Never dream that the partys over, Ricky Wilson repeats at the end of Lucky Shirt one of many perky, hummable tunes on the seventh Kaiser Chiefs album.
To bemoan their seventh LP for the confused stinker that it is is not an easy pop, but a real lament for a band that used to be so much more.

Given the risky but ultimately satisfying play they made with 2016's sharp pop turn Stay Together, English indie rock vets Kaiser Chiefs take a few steps back with their uneven seventh set, Duck.
Their singer is a judge on The Voice UK and parochial indie culture is dead, but there are enough hooks here for them to get away with it

The Leeds band’s seventh album fetishises vinyl, landlines and ye good olde indie days
