Three years may have passed since Leeds’ finest the Kaiser Chiefs burst onto the pop scene, dazzling us with their cheeky monkey pop anthems and wry social commentary, but they’re still very much reaping the rewards.

In the past 12 months alone they have been recipients of Brit, Ivor Novello and NME awards, as well as continuing to dominate drive time radio and edge towards 2 million album sales in the UK.

And now, with the release of their brand spanking new single ‘Ruby’, t’Chiefs must prepare themselves for further additions to their ever expanding awards cabinet.

Produced by Stephen Street (Blur, the Smiths) and mixed by Cenzo Townsend (Hothouse Flowers, New Order), ‘Ruby’ is released on CD on 19th February and is backed by the B side ‘From the Neck Down’.

The band’s second album, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, is out on 26th February.

They say:

Digital Spy: “A fun, upbeat, enjoyable track that comes from one of the best bands currently around in the UK.”

NME: “Big and clever, the Kaisers won’t be going the way of the dinosaurs for a while yet.”

We say:

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And so it goes with the Kaiser Chiefs’ ‘Ruby’, a ménage à trois of Graham Coxon-esque guitar, playground keyboard noodling and festival bound “Ahaa ahaa ahaaa” vocal hook.

Frontman Ricky Wilson was born for this kind of thing, injecting a romantic vulnerability into their anthem in waiting high jinks as he ponders, “Could it be, could it be that you’re just joking with me/And you don’t really see you with me?”

True, ‘Ruby’ brings nothing new to the table, but it does provide us with a delicious appetizer until the main course is served, much like their very first single ‘Oh My God’ did back in 2004 before the madness of Employment kicked in.

And as fans who have heard snatches of the new album on the band’s recent tour will tell you, Yours Truly, Angry Mob is going to be quite the melodic feast.
