The fourth and final single from K was " Govinda", which reached No.7 in the UK charts in December of that year. "Govinda" was sung totally in Sanskrit, and mixed swirling guitars with traditional Indian music. Total sales for all the singles from K came to half a million. After initially postponing their tour dates from February and March of 2023, Kula Shaker toured North America in September of 2023. [30] After initial disagreements with management, Kula Shaker resurfaced with the UK-only single " Sound of Drums" in April 1998, peaking at number 3. A promised album in the summer of that year failed to materialise, and the momentum generated by the single was lost as a result. Fans would have to wait until February 1999 to hear any more new material from the forthcoming second album. On 16 September 2011, the band released a 2 CD + 1 DVD 15th anniversary edition of K, including some unreleased material and a new documentary.This section does not cite any sources.

Ways To Leave Your Narcissist –“A song for anyone who realises they are in an abusive relationship; which includes wives, husbands, bosses, and tyrannical governments.” Psychedelic indie band Kula Shaker are sheer university days nostalgia for a certain group of people, of which I am one. The four piece band, fronted by blonde, pixie-faced Crispian Mills were popular during the Post-Britpop era of the late 1990s - but they weren't always taken seriously by some. After taking an extended hiatus, the band released their sixth album, 1st Congregational Church of Eternal Love and Free Hugs in June of 2022, which preceded a UK tour.
