The Kooks - Konk

Release Date:08/11/2017;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. Konk is the second album by British indie rock band The Kooks, released on 14 April 2008 on Virgin Records. Produced by Tony Hoffer, the album is named after the London studio where it was recorded, which is the property of Ray Davies. This was the last album to feature original bassist Max Rafferty. The album was recorded with Hoffer at Konk Studios with the band taking advantage of their debut album's success by having a bigger recording budget that enabled them to use better equipment. Being fans of The Kinks, The Kooks were excited by the prospect of recording at a studio started and run by their idols. "When we got here first we were very excited because this building has yielded some amazing music - stuff that I still listen to all the time. You can't help but be inspired by making an album here," said Pritchard. The band had been prolific songwriters during their two years on tour, and even considered making their sophomore effort a double album.;Special Attributes:REISSUE
