Frontman Crispian Mills adds: “Purely in terms of songwriting, energy and performance, Natural Magick feels like one of the best, if not the best studio album we’ve ever made, but much of it was written on the road and it’s all very much designed to be played in front of a live audience.”
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.
This same kinetic energy curses through every second of ‘NATURAL MAGICK’, the band’s 7th studio album, which finds the reunited original four members of Kula Shaker casting their most powerful spells yet — in no small part due to the return of keyboard wizard Jay Darlington from a decade with Oasis and various Gallaghers, therefore reuniting the band’s classic line-up (Crispian Mills: guitar/vocals; Jay Darlington: Hammond organ/ keys; Alonza Bevan: bass; Paul Winter-Hart: drums).
