Eddie's Gun (Single)
The Kooks
Released:
Aug 2006
Label:
Virgin Records
This first stateside single is a two-minute attempt to prove that the Kooks are part of a movement that "could surpass Brit pop." While the appealing rough edges and Brighton accents hint at early Kinks, what's missing are the essential awkward charms and addictive two-chord riffs. The Kooks like to describe themselves as "skuzzy," but this cut sounds too studied to unleash that magical quality inherent in all great British musical invasions.
