Employment

Employment, the 2005 debut by British band Kaiser Chiefs, is a brisk, hook-driven indie rock record rooted in post-punk revival and power pop. It pairs angular guitars and driving rhythms with catchy, anthemic choruses and observational, often witty lyrics, producing energetic, singalong tracks such as "I Predict a Riot", "Oh My God", and "Everyday I Love You Less and Less". The album's bright production and rhythmic urgency are characteristic of the mid-2000s British indie rock sound.
