It's just like an idea, like a chorus, and then we just jam on it – it happens in loads of different ways. The best songs I find always come from the subconscious, like when you don't think. Not to be pretentious about it, but usually songs just blurt out rather than thinking about it. I never write lyrics and then do a song, I find that really hard – that's like a real skill."

I want our singles to come on the radio and for people to literally have their heads blown off by them". [29] Recorded over a total of seven weeks in London and Los Angeles Pritchard told NME the band had wanted more input into their second album. "Tony's a genius, but this time we wanted more involvement in the production," said Pritchard. [28] Renshaw, David (24 April 2014). "The Kooks announce new album 'Listen' ". NME .

Rafferty was fired from the band on 31 January 2008, after a series of absences due to illness and long-standing rumours about his place in the band; drug addiction was also quoted as one of the reasons for his departure. [23] Rafferty subsequently refuted these claims, saying that he had been fired from the band because he "didn't think Konk was very good, and I said that." [24] Dan Logan, bassist with a local Brighton band Cat the Dog, was drafted in as a temporary replacement for Rafferty. [25] After the departure of Rafferty, the band had considered splitting up. Pritchard discussed the possibility of Dan Logan joining the band as their new bassist, "It's been really strange for us but it's something that had to happen. Dan hasn’t joined the band properly yet. We're trying him out, but I love playing with him." [26] In October 2008, Peter Denton - who had previously filled in for Rafferty during the Inside In/Inside Out touring cycle - was chosen as the permanent bassist.

But tensions with Rafferty led to the bassist’s dismissal after the album’s recording was completed. Dan Logan was brought in to play bass on the Konk deluxe edition bonus disc RAK, and on initial touring and promotional duties for the album. The band eventually settled on Pete Denton – who had previously subbed for Rafferty while touring the first album – as permanent bassist. a b O'Regan, Nadine (4 May 2008). "The Kooky crew".

Frontman Luke Pritchard told Newsbeat, "We kind of barricaded ourselves in the countryside for a few weeks—stayed at some friends' who have a cottage in Norfolk." By August 2010, initial recording sessions had been produced by Jim Abbiss ( Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Adele), with songs such as "Weight of the World", "Winds of Change", "Window to the Soul", "Strange One", "Rainbow", "Carried Away" and "The Saboteur" in contention for the album. Pritchard stated that the band's sound had changed drastically with the presence of new bassist Peter Denton and drummer Chris Prendergast, both of whom had joined The Kooks during the Konk touring cycle. [1] The Hoffer sessions also saw the return of original drummer Paul Garred, who had previously left the band due to nerve damage in his left arm but had recovered sufficiently to be involved in the recording, if not the writing. [3] "The way that we work is that we’ll write and record together, but he doesn’t feel comfortable on the road at the moment. But who knows in the future," said Pritchard regarding Garred's involvement with the band after the album's release. [4] Prendergast resumed touring with the band leading up to the album's release in September 2011, while Garred was involved in promotional duties, including press photos, interviews, videos and live sessions. By October, Denny Weston Jr. - who played percussion during the album recording sessions - had replaced Prendergast as tour drummer and would retain the position until mid-2012, while Garred would leave the band permanently in November 2011. [5] From summer 2012 to mid-2013, the remainder of the Junk of the Heart touring cycle would be completed with former Golden Silvers drummer Alexis Nunez, who would eventually become a full member of the band and be involved in their next studio album, Listen.
