'No Pressure' and 'All The Time' mark the first tasters of a forthcoming fifth album
The Kooks have returned with two new tracks, and news of a forthcoming album.
‘No Pressure’ and ‘All The Time’ are the first tasters of the band’s fifth record ‘Let’s Go Sunshine’, a release which frontman Luke Pritchard calls “our most exciting album” yet. It’s due for release on August 31.
The band first hit the studio in 2015, picking up where their last album ‘Listen’ – which came out the previous year – left off. However, The Kooks later scrapped an entire album’s worth of material, Pritchard explains in a press release.
“[We] discovered it wasn’t what we wanted to make and wasn’t really The Kooks,” the vocalist says. “So we scrapped it and started again. I really went on a mission to write the best songs I’d ever written before bringing them to the band. I stewed over every word. It had to be our ‘Rubber Soul’, ‘Lola’, ‘Definitely Maybe’,” he adds, citing three classic records. “Proper British lineage.”
The Kooks have also shared the tracklisting for their fifth album ‘Let’s Go Sunshine’.
