The Kooks are an archetypal British guitar band, a bunch of musicians who have never shied away from their roots.
Inspired by The Who, Ray Davies, Blur and plenty more, the band's output is a heady brew of the personal and the universal.
New project 'Hello, What's Your Name?' flips this on its head, however. Due for release on December 4th, the tracklisting features a raft of big names and newcomers, spanning the full gamut of electronic innovation.
