The Kooks are as real as modern music can get. Luke’s accent, the adolescent lyrics, the simplicity of the looks, the acoustic pureness. It’s all you could ask for, and probably a little bit more.
They’re young, fresh, easy, transparent and talented. Can’t go wrong if you like the style.
Moreover, on top of having their own cool and catchy songs they’ve also specialized in making awesome covers – just have a listen at their MGMT – Kids version, Ace Of Base – All That She Wants, Peter, Bjorn and John – Young Folks and the latest Foster The People – Pumped Up Kicks.
I’m only familiar with the first 2 albums – Inside In/Inside Out and Konk – but they are releasing their new work today or tomorrow, the album is named Junk Of The Heart and I strongly advice all of you to listen to it.
For the moment let’s stick with the old tunes.
First, the almost-perfect Naïve here live at T In The Park:
"How could this be done / By such a smiling sweetheart."
Secondly, the gorgeous She Moves In Her Own Way here live at Glastonbury:
"But you don't pull my strings / 'Cos I'm a better man / Moving on to better things"
And finally, the sexy Do You Wanna’s video clip (WSG is a big fan):
"There’s broken hearts in basements / An broken love on the streets / You were so fed up of it all always involving me"
