Originally released on Kasabian’s 2011 album Velociraptor!, Days Are Forgotten has now returned in a new form. The band have released a new version of the song featuring Serge on lead vocals for the soundtrack of the new Amazon Prime series Young Sherlock.

This new edition is a shorter version with fewer instrumental sections. In addition, there are several changes to the arrangement, including new drums in the middle eight, a drop-out at the start of the second verse, and additional synths towards the end of the track.

Overall, the new version offers an interesting alternate take on Days Are Forgotten. For now, however, it appears to be a one-off soundtrack release rather than the start of a wider series of Serge-led reworkings.

Listen to the official version of the track below.

As always, Kasabian Archive comes through with more goods.

Using these elements, the new version, the original album version, the official instrumental and the Z-Trip remix featuring LL Cool J, we have assembled a five-track EP featuring several alternate edits of Days Are Forgotten.

The first track is a recreation of the album version with Serge on lead vocals. Track two is the same version with the extended outro found on the official instrumental. Third is the first Kasabian Archive Edit, an album-length version of the track with additional instrumental sections taken from the new Young Sherlock version. Track four expands on this edit with the extended instrumental outro. Finally, track five recreates the Z-Trip remix featuring LL Cool J.

Listen to all five versions below.

The new collaborative single from Kasabian and Calvin Harris, Release The Pressure, has arrived. Below is Kasabian Archive’s first impressions of the track following early previews and a full listen.

The track opens with the familiar, repetitive, spacey guitar line heard throughout the teasers released so far. Serge’s reverberated vocal enters shortly after, delivering the opening lines, “We arrive at the same place / Hypnotised by the lights upon your face,” which set the tone for the first verse. While the verses sit comfortably within the track’s overall structure, it is immediately apparent that this is not a typical Kasabian release, either musically or in terms of Serge’s usual songwriting style. Lyrically, however, the theme appears to fit Serge very well.

Around forty seconds in, the song moves into the pre-chorus, “Now we’re finally here together / Seeing you relieves the pressure,” a section already familiar from preview clips. This leads into the chorus, where the title phrase is repeated six times, forming the track’s central hook.

Following the chorus, the middle eight introduces lyrics previously heard in promotional material, “We were so far from home / Lost down a rabbit hole,” before the track returns once again to the chorus. The song then closes with a shortened outro taken from the extended preview, which appears to be the remainder of the original mix that fades out earlier on the main version.

Overall, this is a strong release from two of the UK’s major festival names, particularly given that the collaboration arrived with little warning for fans of both Kasabian and Calvin Harris. It will be interesting to see how Kasabian handle the track moving forward, especially whether it finds a place in the band’s live sets over the summer.

The main criticism, however, is that much of the track’s impact was spoilt by the previews released ahead of its launch. As a result, there is relatively little in the final version that listeners had not already heard prior to release.

Release The Pressure is released on 6 February 2026 on 12-inch and 7-inch vinyl, CD, and across all major streaming platforms.

Kasabian will release a new collaborative single with Calvin Harris.

As previously speculated on Kasabian Archive, and announced on both Calvin and Kasabian’s social media channels, Release The Pressure will drop on Friday 6 February. The track will not only be streaming, but there are also pre-order options available for a red 12″ single, red marble 7″ and CD. You can listen to an extended two minute preview below.

The physical format tacklist interestingly lists the track as “Vinyl Exclusive Audio”, whereas the DJ music store Beatport lists the track as “Original Mix” – Beatport also notes that the track is 5 minutes and 7 seconds long, 132 bpm and in G Minor.

Each physical release’s tracklist can be seen below;

Red 12″ Vinyl
Side A – Release The Pressure [Extended]
Side B – Release The Pressure [Edit], Release The Pressure [Instrumental],

Red Marble 7″ Vinyl
Side A – Release The Pressure [Edit]
Side B – Release The Pressure [Extended]

CD

2 – Release The Pressure [Extended]

Off the back of Serge’s collaboration with Måneskin’s Thomas Raggi, it looks as though we could be getting a new track featuring Serge – This time with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris.

A recording of the track from a performance in China, which can be seen below, has surfaced online and features clear vocals from Serge Pizzorno. Very little is known about the track, though Calvin Harris did post a clearer short clip of the track from a performance in Dubai on Instagram.

Whilst usually this would be pure speculation that it’s Serge’s vocals on this track, Calvin’s video was shared on Tim Carter’s Instagram story, which all but confirms this is Serge singing on this track.

Stay tuned for more info when it drops!

Kasabian will re-issue their first two albums, Kasabian and Empire on 30 January 2026.

Both albums will be pressed to 12″ vinyl, with the debut being pressed to double-disc, whilst Empire will be a double-sided single disc press. This will be the second pressing of each album in the space of 12 months, with Kasabian having been re-pressed for Record Store Day and Empire having been re-pressed for National Album Day in 2025.

Kasabian can be found on Rough Trade here, and Empire can be found on the same website here.

With the first two Kasabian albums having been re-pressed in the space of 12 months, could we see the likes of West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum and Velociraptor! re-released soon? We hope so!

Last night (Friday 15 August 2025), Kasabian officialy launched the new Premier League season with a live performance of Sky Sports’ new title track, G.O.A.T.

G.O.A.T is now Kasabian’s second Sky Sports Premier League theme, following Club Foot‘s stint from 2009-2011. The band released a new ‘Sky 25’ mix of the track ahead of the debut live performance at London’s Outernet, before kick off of the 2025/26 season’s opening fixture, in which Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-2 at Anfield.

Following the match, the band played a few tracks for the private audience. Check out the full setlist here, or watch the live performance and interviews below.
