Interesting
"Konk" was the last album to feature original bassist Max Rafferty, marking the end of an era for The Kooks. The album's production by Tony Hoffer, combined with the band's evolving sound, resulted in a polished yet dynamic record that resonated with both critics and fans. The inclusion of enhanced content on the CD was a novel approach at the time, providing an interactive experience that bridged the gap between the music and its audience.
