Overview
The Kooks Luke Pritchard has revealed that the band scrapped half an album before recording their new LP 'Junk Of The Heart'.
In an exclusive video interview with Gigwise, Pritchard said the decision to start again was the reason why fans have had to wait so long for a follow-up to 2008's 'Konk'.
“We went in a direction, recorded half a record and scrapped it, so that's why the time happened,” he said.
“But it was kind of good, I think it was very good for us – it was good to take ourselves out of it.
“We really wanted to take care of it, that's why this one means a lot, and if people dig it it will be cool because we've spent a lot of thought on it.”
In the interview, which you can watch above, Pritchard also discusses the band's upcoming headline tour.
'Junk Of The Heart' is out now.
