For those unaware, named after a 9th century Indian poet king, Kula Shaker always existed in an alternate reality; storming the heavens fearlessly, some might say recklessly, questing to the fairy-tale edges of the rock and roll spectrum, all the while solidifying their reputation as one of Britain’s most exciting live bands.

How many other artists can claim to have actually headlined Glastonbury twice in the same weekend? Scored one of the fastest selling double-Platinum debuts of all time, a run of Top 10 singles, opened for Oasis at their era-defining Knebworth shows, and how many bands from that era are still at the top of their creative game, their original line-up intact, and, perhaps most remarkable of all, still managing to remain best of friends?

Kula Shaker now return with their 8th studio album, Wormslayer, reaffirming their place as one of Britain’s most fearless and imaginative rock bands.

1. Lucky Number
2. Good Money
3. Charge of the Light Brigade
4. Little Darling
5. Broke As Folk
6. Be Merciful
7. Shaunie
8. The Winged Boy
9. Day For Night
10. Wormslayer

The new recording opens on the melodic rocker Lucky Number and the swanky Good Money and then comes the psych rocker Charge of the Light Brigade, the beautiful balladry of Little Darling and the effecting atmospheric Broke As Folk.

Along next is the translucently seamless Be Merciful which is in turn backed by the gentle rock of Shaunie, the rhythmical The Winged Boy, the veritably acoustic storytelling within Day For Night, the set rounding out on the dutifully immersive title track Wormslayer, closing a glorious 60’s sound that vibes throughout Dust Beneath Our Feet.
