Vinyl LP pressing. Konk is the second album by British indie rock band The Kooks, released on 14 April 2008 on Virgin Records. Produced by Tony Hoffer, the album is named after the London studio where it was recorded, which is the property of Ray Davies. This was the last album to feature original bassist Max Rafferty. The album was recorded with Hoffer at Konk Studios with the band taking advantage of their debut album's success by having a bigger recording budget that enabled them to use better equipment.
