The seven and a half-minute title track from the forthcoming album, “Wormslayer” takes you on a deep dive into the Kula Shaker universe.
“The song is out today.
The short film will follow shortly.“
Kula Shaker return with their 8th studio album, “Wormslayer,” reaffirming their place as one of Britain’s most fearless and imaginative Rock bands.
Named after a 9th-century Indian poet king, the band have always existed in an alternate reality, mixing mysticism, Psychedelia, and raucous Rock ‘n’ roll energy. With Wormslayer, they continue that quest, creating a kaleidoscopic journey that feels both timeless and urgently fresh.
From its opening moments, the album surges with evangelical fervor: a whirlpool of ’60s Psychedelia, sumptuous Soul, retro-Funk and Cosmic storytelling. At its core runs a thematic thread that unfolds like a Psychedelic Rock Opera — tales of Faustian bargains, winged dreamers, and mythic struggles that mirror the band’s own uncompromising creative spirit.
Over the decades, Kula Shaker have carved a unique path through British music. Bursting onto the scene in the Britpop era with hits like “Hey Dude,” “Tattva,” “Govinda” and their high-energy take on “Hush,” they became one of the fastest-selling UK debuts of all time with their chart-topping album K. They’ve headlined Glastonbury (twice in one weekend), opened for Oasis at Knebworth, and remain, remarkably, the same 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 joyous, shape-shifting magic that has always defined them.
