Speaking about the string of tour dates in a press release, Mills said: “Purely in terms of songwriting, energy and performance, ‘Natural Magick’ feels like one of the best, if not the best studio album we’ve ever made, but much of it was written on the road and it’s all very much designed to be played in front of a live audience.”

“This chapter in the band’s life is very much driven by live energy and that spiritual connection with the audiences which comes with it,” Mills said about the forthcoming LP. “We all agreed to make this album a Kula Shaker fan’s dream. It was very similar to the way we recorded K, back when we only had half an hour to blow people away, and recording much of it in-between shows while touring.”

‘Natural Magick’ follows 2022’s ‘1st Congregational Church Of Eternal Love And Free Hugs’.
