Kasabian have revealed their new album is only 20-per-cent off being completed.

The band - who have variously described their third long player as “psychedelic” and a “road movie soundtrack” - have been holed up in the studio for some time completing the record, but bass player Chris Edwards reveals there’s now light at the end of the tunnel.

He tells the Sunday Mirror, “We go to the studio, potter around, eat sandwiches and it's hard to get things finished. We're about 80 per cent done now.”

But the album won’t be signed off until they get one crucial final opinion.

Chris explains, “We're going to play it for Noel Gallagher in a couple of weeks. He speaks his mind."
