Written by The Kooks, produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Belle & Sebastian), and recorded in The Sound Factory (Los Angeles) and Sarm Studios (London), Junk Of The Heart sees them consolidating their position as a bona fide album band with trademark breeziness and catchy hooks. Kicking off with a dramatic breakbeat, the opening track builds across acoustic guitar and warm washes of synth before collapsing into a chorus you'll be singing for days. It shows, that despite the change in their influences, the band still have a firm grasp on how to write killer hooks and pop songs without compare. ## Images ![Junk Of The Heart - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/919qSoLFnAL.jpg) ![Junk Of The Heart - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41zI1Y3OKKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very catchy music *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2011* When pop musicians know what they're doing, they make you happy, and that's the effect the Kooks have on this album. Its hooks, harmonies, and lyrics are all designed to delight. On the title track, Luke Pritchard sings "I wanna make you happy, I wanna make you feel alive," and he means it."Junk of the Heart" is the Brighton-based band's third studio album since 2006. Its themes of happiness and love are wrapped in an irresistibly warm sound, but the music isn't precious by any means. These are polished songs from a band that has perfected its writing and playing. While surrounding the lead vocals with the traditional rock triad of guitar, bass, and drums, Pritchard and company add a big palette of sonic effects, percussion, and synthesizers.Love songs like "Rosie," "Taking Pictures of You," "Petulia," and "Eskimo Kiss" predominate on this collection. Some have great rhythmic drive, some are more vulnerable or confessional, and some, like "Time Above the Earth" have a fragile, ethereal quality that's hard to describe or classify. But not all are so romantic: "F*** the World Off," "Killing Me," and "Mr. Nice Guy" have a harder edge.The first single, "Is It Me," is actually more formulaic than most of the other songs on the album, bearing a resemblance to Arctic Monkeys and other British groups. Had it been my choice, I would have led with "How'd You Like That" or "Runaway," both of which are catchy as all get out.The first two Kooks albums, "Inside In / Inside Out" and "Konk," were well received by the press and the public, and "Junk of the Heart" is certain to continue the trend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not quite as good as their latter albums *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016* Not quite as good as their latter albums, but it did have some good tracks! Alternative, indie & pop with two brief acoustical pieces out of the 12! Album started kinda slow, but picked up toward the end! Thanx! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight effort okay tunes *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2011* Brit pop has really...well not progressed all that much in the last half-decade. This band was destined to be the best of these bands but a sweet tooth production has this band sounding like the Monkeys (but not the Arctic ones...)from years past. If this is the best collection of songs this band has in their studio then well, their audience of teen chicks will be there for awhile and then go to college. This is a lazy uninspired effort of washed out pop tunes that barely grab you. It's truly amazing how many of these Brit bands take themselves so seriously on their 3rd albums that they all sound so self-consciously bad. The Kooks have better in them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/10166375-junk-of-the-heart](https://www.desertcart.id/products/10166375-junk-of-the-heart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
