Kooks In The Studio For Second Album

The Kooks went back into the studio on Monday to start work on their second album, promising a more slightly experimental edge than ‘Inside In/Inside Out’ but with the same high tempo sound. The band have almost 100 songs to choose from and want to whittle them down quickly as they are bored of the current music scene.

“There’s a lot of shit out there,” singer Luke Pritchard told the NME, “especially over the last six months. So once we’re back hopefully we’ll fill that gap. I want the album to be big. I’ve got an ego. I want out singles to come out on the radio and for people to have their heads blown off by them.”

He went on to say that the new LP will have the same vibe as the last and that the songs that made the live set (‘Do You Want To Make Love To Me’, ‘Sway’, ‘See The Sun’ and ‘Hard To Bear’) were favourite to make the cut. It's due this February.
