Kula Shaker gets original members back together for 'Natural Magick'

Psychedelic Brit rockers Kula Shaker are set to release 7th studio album: NATURAL MAGICK which is due out digitally worldwide on February 2 via Strange Folk Records, with CD and vinyl available in North America on March 1, distributed by BFD/The Orchard.

The band’s seventh studio album finds all four original band members reunited, for the first time in twenty-five years, with the return of keyboard wizard Jay Darlington after a decade with Oasis and various Gallagher brothers. The new video for the title track, “Natural Magick” can be seen here.

NATURAL MAGICK is produced by Kula Shaker frontman/guitarist Crispian Mills, co-writer and bassist Alonza Bevan and Kevin Nixon. To pre-order the album, please click here.

On the making of the new album, Kula Shaker’s Crispian Mills avowed, “It was actually very similar to the way we recorded [debut album] K, back when we only had half an hour to blow people away. We wrote and tested all the songs on the road so they’re all quite tough and tight in arrangement. If you can take an audience on a fantastical ride in a few short minutes, there’s a thrill and excitement in that.”

Named after a 10th century South Indian King, Kula Shaker first emerged during the 1990s Britpop era, with their multi-platinum debut album, K. Selling millions of records, Kula Shaker has enjoyed success not only in their native Britain - where they notched 7 Top 20 singles from 1996-99 - but also worldwide. In the U.S, the band is best known for the cover of 1960s rock nugget "Hush."

Kula Shaker is Crispian Mills (guitar, vocals), Alonza Bevan (bass, vocals), Paul Winter-Hart (drums) and Jay Darlington (Hammond organ, keys).
