Kula Shaker - Wormslayer

Kula Shaker returns with their eighth studio album, Wormslayer, reaffirming their position as one of Britain’s most fearless and imaginative rock bands. Named after a 9th-century Indian poet-king, the band has always existed in an alternative reality where mysticism, psychedelia, and raw rock ’n’ roll energy converge. With Wormslayer, they continue that quest, creating a kaleidoscopic journey that feels both timeless and urgent, fresh and vital.

From the very first moment, the album bursts with evangelical zeal: a whirlwind of ’60s psychedelia, lush soul, retro-funk, and cosmic storytelling. The throughline is a thematic arc unfolding like a psychedelic rock opera—tales of Faustian bargains, winged dreamers, and mythical battles reflecting the band’s uncompromising creative spirit.

Over the decades, Kula Shaker has carved a unique path in British music. They broke through during the Britpop era with hits like “Hey Dude,” “Tattva,” “Govinda,” and their energetic cover of “Hush,” becoming one of the fastest-selling British debut acts of all time with their album K, which topped the charts. They headlined Glastonbury (twice in one weekend), opened for Oasis at Knebworth, and remarkably remain in their original lineup, still at the peak of their powers.

Wormslayer is proof that Kula Shaker’s flame burns brighter than ever: ambitious, expansive, and full of the joyful, shape-shifting magic that has always defined them.
