The band who are working on the follow-up to 2008′s ‘Konk’, said the sound of there LP was influenced by US musician Beck and filmmaker David Lynch, after the band became “obsessed” with them both.

Frontman Luke Pritchard told  X Fm: “Personally I’ve always had a real thing of keeping it really organic but this album we’re quite Beck influenced in a way, using loops – live drum takes but looping it – and I’ve got quite obsessed with this David Lynch-y eerie synthesiser thing.”

Pritchard also revealed that the’yve have taken a while to form the record’s sound, admitting: “It’s changed a few times. We’ve been in the studio many different times and gone backwards and forwards.

“It’s quite different but it’s still going to be the same kind of roots… we’ve been getting involved with using different instrumentation and things like that but it’s still going to be Kooks.”

The Kooks’ third studio album is set for release next summer.
