Inside In/Inside Out by The Kooks
Inside In/Inside Out is an album by The Kooks, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 47 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Naïve”, on 24 lists with a best position of #2.
Inside In/Inside Out, the Kooks' debut, came out on Virgin on 23 January 2006, a couple of years after the Brighton band formed and landed a deal with the label within three months. Tony Hoffer produced, and he keeps it bright, bouncy and bursting with hooks. Luke Pritchard yelps and croons up front, with Hugh Harris, Max Rafferty and Paul Garred filling out the lineup, and the songs owe as much to British Invasion jangle as to the post-punk revival crowd.
"Naïve" and "She Moves in Her Own Way" are the sticky ones, with "Eddie's Gun", "Sofa Song", "You Don't Love Me" and "Ooh La" also making the singles cut. It reached No. 2 in Britain, went five times platinum there, and has sold more than 2,000,000 copies worldwide.
