The Kooks were one of many bands who were part of the mid-00s indie explosion. By 2008 it appeared that their Top 40 career was over but then 6 years later they were back with this record.
The popularity of indie music had rapidly declined by this point but this is said to be more of an R&B record than an indie one. Sounds logical, but then a lot of R&B artists were making electropop records by this point so it's perhaps a strange choice of genre for them.
This wasn't the end for them though. They were back to making indie music with their next released "Around Town" which reached 35 and was their final Top 40 hit to date. As a result they were one of the last mid-00s bands standing from a chart perspective.
