Genre: Indie Rock
Artist Website: www.thekooks.co.uk
Rating:
4 stars

Fresh off The Kooks' second album, "Always Where I Need to Be" has quickly risen on the charts to become a hit single in the UK. Unlike some of their previous work, this hot single relies more on instruments than lyrics to establish the carefree tone of the song. The Kooks skillfully establish a vocal harmony with the instruments, humming along to the chorus without using words. The lyrics feel as catchy and fun as the lighthearted tempo. It is a shame that the Kooks tour primarily in Europe.
