The Kooks

The multimillion-selling U.K. indie pop troupe is back. Did you miss them? Luke Pritchard and co have a new album, and it is quite the musical departure. Their new track 'Down' has an R&B skip-and-groove to it, and features Pritchard doing his best Robert Plant blues whoop. If you like their old stuff, you'll be pleased to hear that that The Kooks sound as teeth-grindingly catchy as ever they did. If not, you're probably best off leaving them back in 2005 where they belong.
