Strangefolk

Lyrically, Strangefolk sees Crispian return with an older, wiser head. Accordingly, Strangefolk delivers a lacerating assault on Blairaq (“To Die For Love”) a storming swamp-blues addressing Katrina and her waves (“Hurricane Season”) and for those fearing the band have lost their sense of mischief should head for “Great Dictator Of The Free World”, a song delivered from the perspective of George Bush, climaxing with the line “I want to make love in Guantanamo!”

“We are living in exciting and terrifying times, but it feels right to be back. We’ve missed being here, and hopefully people have missed us too.” Missed them? A rock’n’roll band who look great, have tunes to spare and would rather sing about the state of the planet than the state of their wardrobe? They’re just in the nick of time. Watch the skies - Kula Shaker are overhead.
