Kula Shaker are best known for the 1996 multi platinum 'K',
which became one of the fastest selling UK debuts ever. Now,
after a six-year absence, Kula have returned with the
brilliant album 'Strangefolk'. Produced in collaboration with
an all-star team of hit makers & Grammy winners, including
Tchad Blake (Peter Gabriel, Crowded House), Sam Williams
(Supergrass) and Chris Sheldon (The Foo Fighters, The
Pixies), 'Strangefolk' consists of 13 songs that hurl
themselves through the looking glass and down the rabbit
hole, echoing with voices of protest and imagination. It's
been 10 years since Kula Shaker first dropped in on the
British music scene. In hindsight, it's probably to their
credit that Kula Shaker didn't fit in with the 90s lad-pack.
They didn't go in for 'lad culture'. No, it was the dawn of
the new Millennium, and Kula Shaker had risen early for some
kind of psychedelic breakfast with Krishna and George
Harrison. The band's love of classic rock, and their devotion
to full blown mysticism, encapsulated in the Top-5 single
'Tattva' (a Sanskrit aphorism meaning 'the inconceivable
oneness & difference of reality'), won them ardent fans and
enemies in equal measure, but their brilliant live
performances earned them an unquestioned reputation as one of
Britain's most exciting bands and a musical force to be
reckoned with. After 6 years of silence, and a lot of water
under the creaky old bridge, Kula Shaker is once more alive
and kicking. Lead singer & protagonist Crispian Mills ponders
the time gap, "In many ways, I think the world is a much more
exciting place than it was 10 years ago. War, oppression,
mass communication, ridiculously skinny jeans, that's what
rock n' roll thrives on." In 2006 the band created their own
label in preparation for 'Strangefolk'. "We were inspired to
make another album. The time was right, muses Mills, "It's a
time for musical independence, the power is going back to the
artists. It's up to each of us what we make of the
opportunity." Strangefolk features the original line up,
(Crispian Mills, vocals/gtr, Alonza Bevan, Bass, and Paul
Winter Hart, drums) with the addition of Harry Broadbent
taking over on Hammond organ. After a number of live dates,
the band were back in the studio in 2009 putting the
finishing touches on their fourth album entitled 'Pilgrims
Progress'. The sounds are good and spirits are high. This is
the one says Alonza, Im high as a kite. And so it is,
that the band prepare to emerge from the shadows. To once
more don the humble sack cloth of pilgrims, to carry the good
name of King KulaSekhara upon their heads. And the great King
himself watches on, preparing to spin the wheel of fortune
one more time. God Bless the KING!
