Employment

Employment is the debut album by Kaiser Chiefs, originally released in March 2005 on B-Unique Records. Kaiser Chiefs proved themselves the logical heirs to the Britpop throne previously warmed by the likes of Blur and Supergrass, twinning expectant verses with rollicking choruses and generally acting very much like indie-rock's latest swaggering young Jack the Lads. There's no doubt, the Kaisers know their rock history: Oh My God and Every Day I Love You Less and Less barrel along with something of Madness' playful charm, while You Can Have It All and the lush Caroline, Yes appear to be conscious nods to the sleepy, harmony-laden Californian pop vision of Brian Wilson.
