Find out more below, alongside the new single \u2018Good Money\u2019 and new UK tour dates.<\/p>\n<p>Back with the original line-up consisting of Crispian Mills (vocals\/guitar), Alonza Bevan<br \/>(bass), Paul Winterhart (drums) and Jay Darlington (Hammond organ), the new album is set for release on January 30.<\/p>\n<p>It will contain the previously released singles \u2018Charge of the Light Brigade\u2019 and \u2018Broke as Folk\u2019, and is set to see the band push their creative horizons more than ever before. Other new songs will include the gothic \u2018Little Darling\u2019, and the elaborate, cinematic title track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope people enjoy the twists and turns that this new record takes you on,\u201d Mills said. \u201cWe always loved those psychedelic records that had great songs, great production, great storytelling, and took you on a journey. We always dig into that kind of experience, because we\u2019re that kind of band. Kula Shaker has a life of its own. We\u2019re just passengers, watching it happen in realtime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today (September 17), the band have shared another insight into the record \u2013 dropping the \u201860s-inspired song \u2018Good Money\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kula Shaker - Good Money (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0hO17c4lB1E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Adding a new level of intricacy to the album, the song includes nods to psychedelia, alongside hints of soul and funk genres. It also comes with a new music video, which you can check out above.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur last video was all in camera, real stunts, real props and epic battle scenes which people assumed was all AI. So we\u2019ve taken a different approach with \u2018Good Money\u2019,\u201d said the frontman. \u201cThe whole video is entirely AI generated by two monkeys, we gave them the song and the lyrics and this is what they came up with. It\u2019s kind of mind blowing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cIt\u2019s a story about a boy in a small community, who grows wings and how the local people come to treat him. Some think he\u2019s a freak, some think he\u2019s a cherub, others cynically see him as an opportunity to make money\u2026. Is it a metaphor for the music business? I\u2019d say it\u2019s a metaphor for life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3893157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3893157\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3893157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kula Shaker \u2018Wormslayer\u2019 album artwork.
