Emerging in the mid 90's in the days of rising Britpop sound, but the band decided to give their touch and mix it with classic 60’s psychedelia and various stylings of Indian music. On their new album, that is "Wormslayer," the band plays with elements that remarks what Kula Shaker's music is: both energetic and stylistically broad, indeed, there's something very British about their sound that fuses Anglo and Indo styles, a style that continues a trend with certain artists such as Cornershop in the 1990s.
Last year, the band shared a handful of new songs that showed they were still spreading their creative wings. The group delved into their funky side with "Good Money", incorporating R&B rhythms and girl group backing vocals for a song that sounds like a lost 70's club banger. They explored the darker edges of britpop and haunting alternative sounds on "Charge of the Light Brigade", played around with certain Bob Dylan when he was electric type melodies on the organ-led sing-along "Broke as Folk".
Apparently and despite the band have risen in the 90’s, their musical heart seems firmly in the 60’s, as the throwback elements of these tracks never feel like an homage. A "folk" song to them isn’t just a man and an acoustic guitar – it's a fully orchestrated, lush production like the dreamy "Little Darling". The pop tune "Shaunie" with uplifting guitar chords, other songs can be just as twisty and poetic as the music, as they spill out lines like "Your crooked smile dances on a serpent for your lover's eyes" on "Be Merciful".
