The Kooks Releases New Song “Compass Will Fracture”
British indie rock band The Kooks, consisting of Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar) and Hugh Harris (lead guitar), released the third single called “Compass Will Fracture” from their upcoming seventh studio album “Never/Know” on April 18, 2025, following “Sunny Baby” and “Never Know”.
The album is set to be released on May 9, 2025. It is their first album in three years and comprises a 11-track.
The band recorded the song live. The track was written and produced by Luke Pritchard.
The band frontman Luke Pritchard said of the song, “It was quite a special moment when we recorded this one. We did it all live and there was something spooky about it. Lyrically, it’s about the times we live in and how sometimes things can feel backward. Things aren’t always as they seem and there’s so much confusion circling around. It’s like a compass that’s pointing all over the place and no one knows what’s right or wrong; what’s moral, what’s not moral. I feel like kids can get so caught up in this and think they have to get it right all the time. So, it’s a kind of social commentary on what’s going on in the world.”- He added, “It's kind of about not really knowing what the truth is anymore. But did we ever really if we don't even know what love is. And it's kind of garage rock, rock and roll tune stripped back with an incredible amazing guitar solo by Mr.Hugh Harris. So check it out.”
