"L.S.F.", short for "Lost Souls Forever", was the second single from Kasabian's self-titled 2004 debut, though gamers had heard it long before, when it turned up on FIFA Football 2004 in October 2003. The single proper arrived that August and gave the band their first UK top 10.
Tom Meighan sings lead. Sergio Pizzorno, who wrote the words and shares the music with Christopher Karloff, backs him up and plays guitar and synth; Karloff adds more guitar, synth and omnichord; Chris Edwards holds down the bass. The band produced it themselves, with Jim Abbiss adding extra production and mix work, and the result is a swaggering, synth-streaked stomp. In 2007 NME put it at 37 in a list of the greatest indie anthems.
