The Kooks – “Down” Music Video
 
Written by Luke Pritchard and young hip-hop pioneer Inflo, “Down” was recorded in London and LA. The track has already received acclaim, with NME calling it “R&B inspired” and The Music Ninja noting that “”Down” sounds unlike anything The Kooks have ever released. With its funky beats and infectious vocals, the new single from The Kooks is a borderline R&B, certainly groovy track.” Indie Shuffle praised the song as “wonderfully funky and upbeat…a sound slightly reminiscent of music created by The Rapture.”
 
The Kooks are: Luke Pritchard – vocals and guitar, guitarist Hugh Harris, bassist Pete Denton and drummer Alexis Nunez.
