This track is amazingly awesome!
Kula Shaker emerged in the 1990s as an expansive, psychedelic group immersed in hippie mysticism and eclectic musical pasts and futures. Breaking up in 1999 after playing under a solar eclipse seemed like perfect poetry. But as the new millennium firmed up, a majority of band members saw fit to reconfigure and seek new sounds together. Political commentary informs many of the tunes, including the swooning anti-Iraq war slow dance of “Die For Love,” the meandering Hurricane Katrina addressing “Hurricane Season” and the surprisingly plucky “Great Dictator (of the Free World).” But while the messages occasionally veer to the more overt, the sound remains diverse, experimental and surreal. “Song of Love / Narayana” is a multi-track sensation with grand vocal choirs, sweeping keyboard beeps, short, divine guitar solos and rhythms that turn back on themselves. “Shadowlands” uses an icy Lennon-esque vocal echo and piano to deliver its sweet love song. It’s easy to lose yourself in this music hall of mirrors.
