British indie-outfit, The Kooks recently unveiled an infectious new cut, “Creatures of Habit” as produced by Foster The People‘s Isom Innis.

Veering away from their traditional acoustic-discourse, “Creatures of Habit” issues the soothing familiar guitar-singing the four-piece have cultivated over the years, but this time backed-by a disco-drenched bass-line jotted along the catchy groove of hip-hop and dance magic.

Driven by synths swerving left-and-right amidst lead-singer, Luke Pritchard’s psychedelic-crooning, the technicolor-number reveals itself as once a child of the 60’s.

Self-described as “whores” who steal from several musical-influences only to blend them together and pawn them off as their very own, these ballsy “Boys-of-Brighton” have recently found the keys to reinvention.  Frontman, Luke Pritchard discusses the tantalizing new track:

“‘Creatures of Habit’ is a song that was born from a collaboration with Isom Innis.  We were hanging out at his place and this just happened.  I was channelling Mark for sure… even though he doesn’t sing on the track, he’s there in spirit.  We took some pretty huge synths and a very miniature piano and worked.  It’s a reflection of my times in L.A. and living a bit of the American Dream and the American nightmare syndrome.  Being far away from home but also feeling at home.”

Luke Pritchard continues by relaying how the The Kooks‘ sound has evolved over the years:

“Touring used to impact how we made music quite a bit.  We would be on the road a lot and then you jump straight into the studio between tours.  But the last record and moving forward has had a lot less of a live feel and has been more considered musically.  We have embraced a studio set-up for sure.”
