The Kooks have finally unleashed their anticipated new album, Junk of the Heart, today, September 13th on Astralwerks Records. Produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Belle & Sebastian), and recorded in The Sound Factory (Los Angeles) and Sarm Studios (London), the band's third album sees The Kooks solidifying their position as a solid rock entity with trademark killer hooks from their undeniable first single "Junk Of The Heart" to the Bowie-esque "Mr. Nice Guy" and the electro dub of "Runaway."
"Junk Of The Heart (Happy)" kicks off the new album with a dramatic breakbeat, and builds across acoustic guitar and warm washes of synth before collapsing into a chorus electrifies your entire body. So if you liked their stuff before, brace yourself cause you're in for a super sweet musical ride. Their new work is tight, its melodic, and its some of the most delectable ear candy you'll find.
A an acoustic version of "Junk Of The Heart (Happy)" is now available via SPIN http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/171681394/mack-pay-to-play-video-and-vinyl-ex-rollins-band-d
