Kaiser Chiefs - Off with Their Heads

Kaiser Chiefs - Off with Their HeadsExpect more pandemonium from the lads from Leeds, who accurately predicted a riot with their debut album, which spawned four hit singles of sunny dread rock. The band’s third album, produced by Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse) features more incongruously cheery songs about Britain’s social ills, including “Never Miss a Beat” and “Addicted to Drugs.” U.K grime artist Sway joins the Chiefs on one cautionary tale, while pop darling Lily Allen contributes vocals to the bouncy, existentialist “Always Happens Like That.”
