Not me because that's a shit title. yeah but what would you think as explanation for the "malted milk" on their back? It would be too easy if it's Malted Milk (I hope it isn't). It's more like a hint it seems? This is the quote from Aitor from the NME article: Before heading back into his studio he said: "I'll give you one clue to what it all means. Malted Milk. Like the biscuits. You'll see."

Here are some theories me and some friends have come up with:
"number of hours and minutes from the time of painting to the time a single is released. This theory comes after one about latitudes and longitudes, which resulted in a place called Yapham in the East Riding of Yorkshire!"
free download or single announcement
Malted Milk some sort of anagram "Delta M" whixh is some kind of rocket. So links to the space center in Leicester (The line "get on board this mothership"?)
48:13, verse form the Bible, Isaiah "My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they all stand up together."
A mathematical equation atomic numbers on the periodic table: 48 Cd (cadmium) and 13 Al (aluminium)
The ratio 48:13 solved is rounded up to 3.7 could this be the date 3rd July relating to a single release, or tix going on sale to the next tour?

I want to rule out the bible verse, unless that was one of Aitor's moments of brilliance, because Serge isn't religious and I doubt any of the others are so well versed in scripture either, or feel so passionately about it that they would consider using it for a promo campaign. It doesn't really suit them. Somehow I'm just convinced it's the length of the album, minutes and seconds. At first I thought that's a bit short, but their longest one, the debut album, is just over 53 minutes. Then I thought what if it's the title too? How random is it to paint the album length on a wall? Unless there's more to follow. I had the wildest dreams last night, about a whole pink Kasabian scavenger hunt through London and in the end we got the tracklisting. But I had to think of the band 2:54 who named themselves after a certain moment in a specific song. And scrawling it on a wall would be a pretty different way of launching it. I had an idea before which I thought was pretty far-fetched, but things are getting much weirder now. I thought the album might be called 13 because it has 13 tracks, and in the photoshoot in Serge's studio he's wearing a ring with the number 13 on it. They do have a bit of a history with things that represent the album's theme, wearing the feathers or wearing different things from the West Ryder cover. Who is Steve though?

Ha,ha a few malted milk biscuits vacuumed packed with each release ,love it but would be much happier with a ginger nut.But I thought 48:13 might have been related to 48 hrs for a single release or 48 days of which would be a more releastic time frame or maybe a pop up show if so in London il be there in a shot or as quick as Tfl takes me.Ive looked into the ins and outs of malted milk and I can't seem to make a connection but one thing is all this has got people talking. I'm going to do the Oasis exhibition at Shoreditch in the school hols so as Dalston is just down the road I'm hoping their artwork is still going to be there and hasn't been graffitied on.

If Katy Perry puts flower seeds in her album we can have something reasonable like biscuits. Feed the fans!

I was there this morning and took some pics - more here. No graffiti yet, it was all nice and cleaned and nobody was interested in it except me. I also peeled a tiny bit of paint to keep. Don't tell Aitor).

They are good at painting. ;-; 48:13 has to be the length of the album. Painting on a pink wall is a bit different, given they were going with a black and white theme for most of the promotion. I don't know if there's a bit of a hint relating to West Ryder Silver Bullet in there. Well, my prediction of 'Psycheground' isn't coming clode I guess (probably a track). Has anyone looked at it during night time, colour change, glow in the dark or something?

'Drawing profile on prison walls'. But I don't think this gave any clue to the album title cause Sergio said it's secret cause of the way it was going to be released.

This is also reminiscent to 'Pink' Floyd's The 'Wall'. Not sure if Sherlock Holmes has gotten into me or just Pink Floyd fanboyism
