Be Whoever Comes Into Your Head

The Brighton-based rock band The Kooks are back with their new single, Always Where I Need To Be. Their sophomore effort Konk (named for the London studio the set was recorded in) will be released by Virgin on March 14 in the UK. They have a few shows in the US, so I'm certain that they are prepping for a US release sometime in the near future.

As for the single, I haven't decided if I really like it. It's definitely not bad, but it lacks the appeal that the previous three singles (Naive, She Moves In Her Own Way and Ooh La) had. Those contained instantly catchy hooks that had you craving frequent listens. Always... appears to be a grower. It's still in line with their previous works as it is a fun, upbeat pop song.




For additional songs + tour dates, head on over to their official MySpace page. To pre-order the album, head over to Amazon or Amazon UK. Or, if you prefer iTunes, use the appropriate link below:
