Kasabian started work on their fourth album, Velociraptor!, in November 2010 with Dan the Automator as producer. It was revealed in a number of interviews that some songs were already written. One track, titled "Green Fairy", which featured on the London Boulevard soundtrack, is present on the record under the name "La Fée Verte", but the Album Version is different to the soundtrack version. In June 2011, Kasabian closed the Isle of Wight Festival. They also headlined Rockness festival and played at Rock Werchter in July 2011. The band confirmed that the album will be released on 19 September 2011.[12][13]

"Switchblade Smiles" first song to be heard from the forthcoming album "Velociraptor!" was exclusively played on UK radio on 7 June 2011 during Zane Lowe's show on Radio 1. The title and release date of the fourth album was also confirmed on the show. This first single from the album is available for visitors to listen to on the Kasabian website, and is available as a download for people who pre-order the album.


Tom waves goodbye at a warm-up date.Two tracks from the album ("Velociraptor" and "Switchblade Smiles") were premièred throughout the four-date warm-up tour including playing at the Leeds O2 Academy before the RockNess and Isle of Wight festivals in June 2011. A track from the album "Days Are Forgotten" was due for radio release on 22 July 2011. However, it surfaced online the night before.

On Monday 5 September 2011 the band played a gig to a small crowd of just 230 people, on a Boeing 747 at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome for online music video platform VEVO. The crowd witnessed the band play new songs "Velociraptor", "Days Are Forgotten", "Switchblade Smiles" and previously unheard "Re-Wired".

On 9 September 2011, the album leaked online, 10 days ahead of its official UK release.
