Reviews:
* After creating a stir with their debut album K, Kula Shakerfollows up with a purposeful upping of the ante on PEASANTS. Like its predecessor, the album brashly melds the cinematic, spacy Britrock sweep of Spiritualised with Middle Easternmelodic touches (the mid-period Beatles are strongly evoked, especially on the flower power epic "Shower Your Love") and the occasional loop-oriented trip-hop touch. The strongestemotional connection for Kula Shaker seems to be with the '60s--heavy organ, choral vocals, Yardbirdsy guitar and harp,it seems like the quartet has learned every trick in the post-'65 rock & roll book and filtered through a harder-edged '90s Britpop orientation. PEASANTS is an ambitious, broad-ranging album, drunk on the driftwood of pop culture and creative enough to make something new of it.
* Right from the start this album brims with energy. The opening song "Great Hosannah" is typical of what to expect from the whole album... just great melodic rock with classical Indian persuasion. Kula Shaker have created a very new sound but sounds as if it's straight out of the 60's. "Mystical Machine Gun" follows the opening track starting off slow and hypnotic with the Indian Sarungi; it unfolds into an energetic heavy guitar anthem. You will see why it was released as a single. Next comes the heavy rock tune "SOS" followed by the very Indian "Radhe Radhe" which gradually incorporates and ends up finishing with a wonderful brass orchestral piece of music. "I'm Still Here" is a lovely short acoustic number preparing us for the centrepiece of the album; the wonderful hippy anthem "Shower Your Love" (the band's last single together), simply a blissful feel-good guitar tune, with the lyrics sung so sincerely it's my favourite song of all time. Other highlights include the single "Sound of Drums" another fantastic tune which has an amazing piece of organ-playing. The other songs all have their own unique way of making an impression on you mainly because of the variety of instruments used. What makes this album so special is the clarity of all the band-members and guest musicians (of which there are a lot). They play with so much fire and get the adrenaline flowing throughout the album.
I do admit you will have to listen to the album a few times before you can fully appreciate it as I do but please do listen to it. I highly highly recommend it.
