The Kooks are an indie rock band formed in Brighton, England in 2004. They are widely known for their famous songs “Naive” and “She Moves in Her Own Way” and their music has similar sounds ranging from artists like Artic Monkeys, The Killers, and The Fratellis. It’s quite surprising that The Kooks did a cover for MGMT’s notorious song “Kids” because the two bands differ in tastes. They are both considered indie alternative, but MGMT can be a bit more on the pyschedlic side. Nevertheless, The Kook made a superb, acoustic version of “Kids”, so sit back and feel rejenivated through their mellow voices.

Listen to the song here.
