| The Kooks : Inside In/Inside Out |
Brighton, England’s Kooks –named after a tune on David Bowie’s Hunky Dory LP – are another group who have studied their rock history so well they can spit out whatever combination they feel up to at any given moment. It’s no coincidence that fellow scholars hear everything from the Kinks – whose Konk studios were used in the album’s recording – to Supergrass to Thin Lizzy all without suggesting they sound like any of these groups. These youngsters have a lightness of touch, a cheeky enthusiasm that makes even their most dire forecasts sound like invitations to party in their private hotel suite. Whether they’re exploring “Jackie Big Tits” or “Eddie’s Gun,” they do so with an inquisitive earnestness. “You Don’t Love Me” crashes forth with a reckless sway that doesn’t care if it knocks over a few lamps in the process. Collateral damage only makes things more interesting. Besides, they’ll be a thousand miles away by the time the damage is discovered. These guys move fast. |
