These days, as anyone who has seen them in the flesh could tell you, Kula Shaker’s live shows are less like gigs than bona-fide happenings… communal gatherings of like-minded souls where the bilateral flow of positive energy feels powerful enough to levitate the Royal Albert Hall. Named after a 10th century south-Indian King, Kula Shaker first carried their royal flag of retro freakery and spiritual sonics to the toppermost of the poppermost during the heady days of Britpop, with songs like ‘Tattva’ and ‘Hush’ from the multi-platinum selling album ‘K’.
Fast forward to the present day and 2024 sees the band ride out once again, mystical-machine-guns-a-blazing, with the release of ‘NATURAL MAGICK’ — their brand new 7th studio album. ‘NATURAL MAGICK’ finds the original 4 members casting their most powerful spell yet with a mesmeric 13-track incantation of blazing psychedelic sermons, stardust-coated pop pearls and mood-enhancing mantras — delivering their renewed wild energy that we know and love. There is kinetic energy coursing through every second of ‘NATURAL MAGICK’ planted firmly in the rolling 24- hour news-feed mind-mash that is today’s Planet Earth.
