Do You Love Me Still?
A little while ago I posted about this new UK band The Kooks. They're quite precocious, and I find that annoying as hell. But, there's a chance that they've figured out the way to really make this Jam/Kinks combination that bands like Arctic Monkeys and The Libertines attempted. To be fair, their attempts were excellent, but I have a feeling that The Kooks may have stumbled on the perfect balance. True, there are many influences at play on their new record Inside In/Inside Out, but I think that Jam/Kinks combo is the main touchpoint considering how diverse those bands' resepective influences were.
The album's out October 3rd on Astralwerks. Check out this single:
a dizzying-eclectic, genre-whore of a record…from a band too inspired to know what they actually sound like yet’ (NME)
