Konk

The Kooks

Polished indie pop with a classic British heartbeat. Bright guitars and sharp melodies recorded in the legendary Konk Studios for a bigger, warmer sound.

It's the ultimate 'windows-down' British indie record that sounds like a permanent summer holiday.

A sun-drenched, high-energy celebration of youth with a slight undercurrent of growing pains.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive 'do-do-do' vocal hook that anchors the chorus of Always Where I Need to Be.
The shift from sparse acoustic strumming to a full band swell in the bridge of See the Sun.
The driving, jagged guitar riff that propels Do You Wanna into its high-energy climax.
The vulnerable, stripped-back intimacy of the closing hidden track All Over Town.
