What do you think of Down?

When I read it was hip hop influenced, I thought it would be awful, but it didn't sound anything like I expected. It reminds me more of early 90s stuff like Stereo MCs if anything.

Luke's vocals are particularly strong on this song. I think he sounds like Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson at various different points!

The whole track has got this sort of chilled out yet somehow also energetic vibe to it.

Can't wait to see if the rest of the new album is as inventive as this, although I would still like to hear some of the classic Kooks sound on it as well.

Didn't know they were still hanging about.

It's... different. Not sure I like it though.

But then I've always found Luke's voice too irritating to ever enjoy a Kooks track.

Will it be sung in a irritating nasal pseudo-scouse whine?

He doesn't sing in a faked accent like some people seem to think. If you listen to his voice when he is talking in interviews or whatever, you can hear that same kind of tone in his natural speaking voice.

Yeah me too, I've always loved Luke's distinctive voice, but it does seem to annoy a lot of people, obviously a marmite kind of thing!
