A weird one from Kagoule today. ‘It Knows It’ is a great bit of psych-soaked Grunge to enjoy, pulling off the slightly-trippy and outrageously-moody vibe perfectly. Partnered with that, however, is a strange overtly psychedelic video that I’m not too sure about.

And that chorus hook is straight out of the Graham Coxon book of guitar riffery, circa 1992’s ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’. It begins unassumingly, but it grows to something with so much potential that it’s sad that Kagoule didn’t exploit this energy further. Hopefully Kagoule will make a return to Worthy Farm […]
