THE KOOKS - Konk (2 CDs - w/ Limited CD) |
This version comes with LIMITED CD with 8 trax w/ exclusive trax and demos! Don’t wait – if this item shows ‘out of stock’ – it means this version is gone. “8 out of 10. The blokes from Brighton are back with their second album, Konk, the follow up to 2006’s Inside In/Inside Out. Their latest effort finds The Kooks picking up where they left off. Scratch that. That’s not entirely true. The band is still scarily good in spite of being relative youngsters with band members’ ages ranging between 21 and 23. Musically, they’ve maintained the same sound as on their debut, just a more finely tuned version of it. Named for a David Bowie song, The Kooks share Bowie’s penchant for an eclectic melding of various genres and moods to their distinctive musical pastiche. True to their name, The Kooks are quirky and hard to pin down, jumping all over the musical map. One minute they’re serious, the next they’re all jangly chords or short, sparking riffs that catch fire and burn through the material, thanks to the guitar work of Hugh Harris. In an era of canned angst with all the sentiment of a Hallmark card, the Kooks’ parlay their mixed feelings on a myriad of subjects with a strong sense of sincerity, finding the sunny side to melancholy and frustration or a splinter of wistfulness lodged somewhere within a good time.”-PopMatters. VERY Highly Recommended!
