Hollywood actress Rosario Dawson will appear on the new Kasabian album, 'The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum'.

The actress, whose movie credits include Sin City, has recorded vocals on one of the song 'West Riding Silver Bullet'.

In an interview with BBC 6Music, frontman Tom Meighan said fans could expect a “raw” sound from their third studio effort.

“It’s gonna freak people out but it’s so good, the record, compared to the other two and I love the other two,” he said.

“They’re like my two babies but this record is something else.”

The album has been produced by guitarist Serge Pizzorno and Gorillaz collaborator Dan The Automator.

Meighan said the producer helped the band to “put a new spin” on the album.

Bassist Chris Edwards added: “He is hip hop, he’s got all the beats down and he is just a great producer and he brought a different flavour to what we were doing.

“We are predominantly a rock ‘n’ roll band but we do dance tracks and different bits and bobs like that, so he just seemed like the perfect guy to get in.”

Kasabian previewed songs from their forthcoming album at London's Royal Albert Hall on Friday (March 27th).

Fans can download their new single, 'Vlad The Impaler', for free from the group's official website starting tomorrow.

'The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum’ is released on June 8th.
