Arrivant une bonne décennie après l’apogée de la Britpop, The Kooks ont ravivé ce fracas accrocheur et plein de malice pour une génération légèrement plus tardive. Leur premier album, Inside In/Inside Out, est sorti en 2006, la même année que le premier album des Arctic Monkeys. Les deux groupes étaient peut-être de légers rivaux, mais leurs débuts quasi simultanés ont marqué la naissance d’une nouvelle génération de groupes britanniques à guitares, aussi redevables aux Strokes qu’au rock classique. Inside In/Inside Out a été un immense succès au Royaume-Uni, atteignant la deuxième place des charts avant d’obtenir le statut de quadruple disque de platine. Leur deuxième album, Konk, sorti en 2008, est entré directement à la première place des classements britanniques, mais est rapidement redescendu. Junk of the Heart, paru en 2011, n’a pas relancé leur succès, mais le quatuor a persévéré et fait son retour en 2014 avec Listen, un album élargissant leur palette sonore pour intégrer des influences soul, dance et new wave, tout en conservant leur amour pour la pop/rock britannique classique qui avait toujours été leur fondement. The Kooks ont continué à associer des grooves aérés à une production soignée sur leurs albums suivants, Let’s Go Sunshine (2017) et 10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark (2022).

Arriving a good decade after the peak of Brit-pop, the Kooks revived that knowing, catchy clatter for a slightly later generation. Their debut, Inside In/Inside Out, appeared in 2006, the same year as the Arctic Monkeys’ debut. The two bands may have been mild rivals, but their near-simultaneous debuts represented the birth of a new generation of British guitar bands, one as indebted to the Strokes as to classic rock. Inside In/Inside Out was a major hit in the U.K., peaking at number two on its way to quadruple-platinum status. Konk, their 2008 sophomore album, entered the U.K. charts at number one but slid down rather quickly. 2011’s Junk of the Heart didn’t revive their fortunes, but the quartet stuck to it, re-emerging in 2014 with Listen, a record that broadened their sound to encompass soul, dance, and new wave while retaining their love of the classic British pop/rock that had always been at their foundation. The Kooks continued to pair spacious grooves with lush production on subsequent efforts Let’s Go Sunshine (2017) and 10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark (2022).
