<p>Crispian Mills (Kula Shaker)</p><p><em><strong> &#39;It&#39;s something to do with control and chaos&#39; </strong></em></p><p>Crispian Mills is best known as the songwriter, singer, and guitarist behind Kula Shaker, and his writing stands out for how boldly it blends classic pop craft with spiritual curiosity. </p><p>At a time when Britpop leaned heavily on irony and everyday realism, Mills zigged toward mysticism—pulling from Indian philosophy, psychedelic rock, and ’60s melodies, sometimes even weaving Sanskrit lyrics into radio-friendly songs. </p><p>Crispian Mills is a great example of a songwriter who fully committed to his inner obsessions—and in doing so, carved out a sound and lyrical identity that still feels singular.</p><p>Kula Shaker existed in an alternate reality. </p><p>Emerging in the midst of Britpop’s lad-culture swagger and retrograde cool, they appeared like a luminous anomaly — flooded with Sanskrit and sitar-drenched feedback as they became one of Britain’s most exhilarating live bands. </p><p>Fronted by the spiritually restless <strong>Crispian Mills</strong>, the band carved out their own mystical counter-narrative, fusing British psychedelia and eastern mysticism that felt less like a gimmick and more like an invocation. </p><p>Phenomenal success soon followed. How many other artists can claim to have actually headlined Glastonbury <em>twice</em> in the same weekend? Scored one of the fastest selling double-Platinum debuts of all time, a run of Top 10 singles, and opened for Oasis at their era-defining Knebworth shows?</p><p>Now Kula Shaker are set to prove that they&#39;re back at the top of their creative game with their eighth album <em><strong>WORMSLAYER .</strong></em></p><p> Still consisting of their original line-up - best friends <strong>Crispian Mills </strong>(<em>vocals/guitar</em>), <strong>Alonza Bevan </strong>(<em>bass</em>), <strong>Paul Winterhart </strong>(<em>drums</em>) and <strong>Jay Darlington </strong>(<em>Hammond organ</em>) </p><p>Website: https://kulashaker.os.fan/</p><p><br></p><p>Elijah&#39;s book - The Songwriters Handbook: </p><p>https://amzn.eu/d/02CYvGRC</p><p><br></p><p>Theme music &#39;Wake Of The Dawn&#39; by The Gravity Drive:</p><p>http://www.thegravitydrive.com</p><p><br></p>
