The Kooks’ new single “Down” is out today. “Down,” and it’s a mission statement from a band that have rediscovered what they loved about making music in the first place. Written by Luke Pritchard and young hip-hop pioneer Inflo,”Down” was recorded in London and LA.

The Kooks recently unveiled the music video for “Down,” directed by Davis Silis. The video’s rapid-fire editing and swirl of bright, vibrant colors lend themselves well to the track, highlighting the Kooks’ newfound sense of swagger. Watch the video by clicking the link below.

“Down” is one of four new songs which will be included on the band’s new EP, out on April 22. The other three songs on the Down EP (“Hooray For Henry,” “Hold On,” and “Melody Maker”) are exclusive to the EP, while title-track “Down” will be included on the band’s forthcoming new album The Kooks are: Luke Pritchard – vocals and guitar, guitarist Hugh Harris, bassist Pete Denton and drummer Alexis Nunez.
