Kula Shaker Share New Single "LUCKY NUMBER", from Forthcoming Album "WORMSLAYER"

A reborn Kula Shaker powers into one of the biggest years in their storied history as they unveil their brand new single ‘Lucky Number’. The song provides the final taste ahead of the January 30th release of their eagerly anticipated ‘Wormslayer’, as well as a hectic year of live activity which starts with their imminent record store tour and continues into a full run of UK and European headline shows.

‘Lucky Number makes for a commanding opener on ‘Wormslayer’, its swirling psych-rock stomp played with the confidence and intensity of a band who remain an exhilarating live experience. Its potion is infused with Kula Shaker’s inimitable ingredients: riffs as heavyweight as they are hallucinatory; driving glam-rock-tinged rhythms; Technicolor Hammond organ flourishes from Jay Darlington and, of course, enigmatic lyricism from the spiritually restless and always charismatic Crispian Mills. The song made a big first impression when it was debuted live on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio.

Crispian Mills says, “There are two types of people in this world: those who read car number plates, and those who don't. ‘Lucky Number’ is for all the beautiful car number plate readers. You don't have to be 'on the spectrum' to appreciate nature's miraculous patterns and certain numbers following you around. We're not going crazy. The universe is speaking to us. God speed.”

The accompanying video for ‘Lucky Number’ features electrifying live footage from last year’s Inner Circle Shows, which saw the band play some of their most intimate shows ever. It included a set at Liverpool’s world famous Cavern Club, where they were honoured with a brick in the Cavern Wall of Fame

Together with the recent singles ‘Be Merciful’, ‘Good Money’, ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ and ‘Broke as Folk’, ‘Lucky Number’ provides further evidence that ‘Wormslayer’ is set to be Kula Shaker’s most vital album since their hit-packed debut album ‘K’ made them chart-topping, double-Platinum sensations. Their eclectic nature demonstrates that ‘Wormslayer’ is an album which never stays in one lane, detouring beyond its electrifying psychedelic heartbeat and into gothic crooning, pastoral folk and expansive mantra-metal.

‘Wormslayer’ album is available to pre-order / pre-save HERE.

Kula Shaker will celebrate the release of the album by embarking upon the ‘Wormslayer’ Busking Sessions, an acoustic and signing record store tour from January 23rd. All shows on their subsequent UK and European headline tour will be illuminated by the mind-bending vision of The Mad Alchemist Liquid Light Show - remaining tickets are available HERE. A taste of their live experience can be seen with their recent KEXP performance, which features the classics ‘Tattva’ and ‘Govinda’, the recent single ‘Good Money’ and the as-yet-unreleased ‘Day For Night’.
