The Kooks are gearing up to celebrate the fact that they’ve been a band for more than 10 years, announcing today that they will be releasing a collection of their greatest hits this May. Titled The Best of… So Far, it’s clear that this compilation is meant more as mile-marker than destination, an idea backed up by singer Luke Pritchard, who stated in a press release, “It’s been the greatest pleasure to work, travel, fight, hate and love the best and most talented people I’ve met in my life. It’s the greatest job in the world and we don’t intend to stop any time soon.”Tracklist:
To drive the point home, the band are including two new songs alongside career staples like “Naïve” and “Shine On.” The first of those, “Be Who You Are,” is available now, and makes for a welcome addition to The Kooks’ catalog. The British indie popsters blast full speed ahead through the tune in a raucous burst of sun-drenched fun, anchored by that singalong “Ba Da Da Da” chorus, and the abrupt change of pace about halfway into the song keeps the listener on their toes, sending things into a spacier, dreamier territory.
