Kasabian have started work on their fourth album, it’s been reported.

The band’s guitarist is understood to have been laying down tracks with producer Dan The Automator in San Francisco.

“Serge is in the songwriting form of his life,” a source told The Sun newspaper. “The tunes are massive."

Dan The Automator was behind the band’s recent number one record, ‘West Ryder Lunatic Pauper Asylum’.

Meanwhile, Kasabian will join Alicia Keys at her Black Ball in London later this month.

It is claimed that the two acts are planning to collaborate at the charity event on May 27.
