With their 7th album ‘Natural Magick’ topping the Inependent Album Charts and their Spring UK Tour starting in Cardiff on 22nd April, the unstoppable return of Kula Shaker continues with the announcement of a new double A-side single, released on 13th April.
Dubbed PEACE WHEEL, the release features two new tracks ‘Rational Man’ and 'Bringing It Back Home (Radha Ramana Hari bol!)’, highlighting the band’s storming live energy, whilst giving today’s tired single format a much needed shot in the arm. Both tracks will also be available as an exclusive double A-side Ltd edition 7inch single, as well as digitally.
The two ‘peace themed’ songs were recorded at London’s legendary RAK studios, where the band recorded much of their multi-platinum selling debut album ‘K’. Both tracks were mixed by Ash Howes who also mixed the whole of their recent album ‘Natural Magick’.
Of the new single, songwriter/ bass player Alonza Bevan says, “Our approach to the double A-side is like two sides of the human brain: ‘Rational Man’ is about an everyday guy, who actually has a brain, struggling to find some reasonable sanity in the world. Then ‘Bringing it Back Home’ is about the search for a spiritual solution."
Crispian Mills adds “‘Bringing it Back Home’ also features the famous Indian kirtan chant, 'Radha Ramana, Hari bol', so it’s fitting and auspicious that it was recorded in the same room we recorded ‘Govinda’, all those years ago.”
The Ltd edition 7inch will be available in gold smoke effect vinyl to order from https://kulashaker.tmstor.es/ on 13th April, the same day as the single’s digital release.
