New Music: Charge Of The Light Brigade

            

Kula Shaker is back and shares their new single "Charge Of The Light Brigade" the band began recording their new album in Alonza’s studio in Belgium before heading to the deepest, darkest Devon to lay down the rest. The track acording to Mills: it's a very heavy-sounding record, considering there's no electric guitar on it. The drums and acoustic guitar were recorded at the same time onto the same microphone. Space echo, fuzz bass and harpsichord were added afterwards, built around a typically pulsating bass from Alonza Bevan, pushed along by Paul Winter-Hart’s drum pattern, Crispian throws a wonderful melody which will be cracking on to sing along to live, now the Hammond organ wizard Jay Darlington layers some psychedelic glitter, while a great backing vocal in the chorus brings thoughts of City Gent and mini skirt-styled ’60s summers. About the video, it was filmed at All Saints Church by Putney Bridge, Charge Of The Light Brigade may have allusions to spiritual vampires and the fairy cavalcade of Celtic folklore, but it still seeps with the lustre of psychedelic rock that Kula Shaker have become renowned for. The film finds our female protagonist escaping the charge of Mills, Darlington, Bevan and Winter-Hart, who are more like characters risen from a Hammer Horror death scene than a Lord Tennyson-inspired Crimean War troop.
