Lead singer Luke Pritchard describes the song as a love ballad about a spontaneous encounter with someone unpredictable. He envisions the track playing in a convertible on a whimsical road trip, emphasizing the unpredictability of life and love.
Produced by Pritchard himself, the eleven-track ‘Never/Know’ sees the band revisiting their musical roots and rekindling the influences that established them as a prominent indie group. The album is not about dwelling on the past but rather about embracing timeless songwriting and cultivating a modern sound.
Pritchard reflects on the album-making process, stating, “The whole thing was to just forget that the past had happened. But to truly move forward, we had to reflect: What kind of music do we want to make, and how do we make it feel natural?”
The album promises to encapsulate The Kooks’ distinctive style while exploring new creative avenues, promising a blend of nostalgia and innovation that fans are sure to appreciate.
In anticipation of the album’s release, fans can enjoy the upbeat and infectious vibes of ‘Never Know’ and check out the complete tracklisting for ‘Never/Know’.
