The Kooks previously performed ‘Inside In/Inside Out’ in full on a celebratory UK and Ireland tour last year. They also released a 15th anniversary reissue of the album, the original of which features the singles ‘Naïve’, ‘She Moves In Her Own Way’ and ‘Ooh La’.
Reflecting on the LP during an interview with NME last year, Pritchard explained: “‘Inside In/Inside Out’ has got a lot of energy. It’s a coming-of-age album with a lot of angst, which is probably why teenagers still discover it.
“Really, though, I don’t know. Maybe it’s an algorithmic thing. The world is mad like that, but it’s exciting for us.”
The Kooks’ sixth and most recent studio effort, ’10 Tracks To Echo In The Dark’, came out in July 2022.
Meanwhile, The Vaccines are gearing up to release their sixth album ‘Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations’ early next year. They’ve already previewed the project with the singles ‘Heartbreak Kid’ and ‘Sometimes, I Swear’.
