On 30 October, the band announced that the U.S. tour had to be rescheduled for early 2019 due to "unforeseen circumstances." [49] When the band resumed performing at the Corona Capital festival in Mexico on 17 November 2018, Pete Denton was absent, with Peter Randall - who had previously played bass for Adele [50] - in his place. Denton was also missing from subsequent shows. [51] In April 2009, The Kooks revealed to BBC's Newsbeat that they were working on their third studio album. Frontman Luke Pritchard told Newsbeat, "We kind of barricaded ourselves in the countryside for a few weeks—stayed at some friends' who have a cottage in Norfolk." By August 2010, initial recording sessions had been produced by Jim Abbiss ( Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Adele), with songs such as "Weight of the World", "Winds of Change", "Window to the Soul", "Strange One", "Rainbow", "Carried Away" and "The Saboteur" in contention for the album. Pritchard stated that the band's sound had changed drastically with the presence of new bassist Peter Denton and drummer Chris Prendergast, both of whom had joined The Kooks during the Konk touring cycle.

Meanwhile, nerve damage in drummer Garred’s arm meant he had to be replaced on tour and in the studio by Chris Prendergast. After initial recording sessions were scrapped, Garred returned and managed to record The Kooks' third studio album, entitled Junk of the Heart, which was released on 12 September 2011. But after initial promotional appearances, Garred permanently left the band in November 2011. The Kooks eventually recruited former Golden Silvers member Alexis Nuñez as their new drummer.
