Elsewhere, Kaiser Chiefs shared their new single ‘How 2 Dance’ earlier this month, which was produced by former Rudimental member Amir Amor. The track is the first taste of the Leeds five-piece’s next LP, which will be the follow-up to July 2019’s ‘Duck’.

Speaking to NME, frontman Ricky Wilson said: “Amir’s just reminded us that all you have to do is just say what you see: it’s very simple. All you do is make music that makes you happy. We’re doing that again.”
