Last seen on stage together as the Furries’ final tour concluded in 2016, Bunford, Ciarán, Ieuan and Pryce reconvened Das Koolies around poker nights and half-remembered riffs shortly after, scratching a persistent, 30-year itch to perform a factory reset and deep dive into the synth-driven sound they’d heard in their heads all along.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking forward to the album’s release Das Koolies say: “The return has been welcomed. Unanimously. Dissent, however, will be tolerated. An abundance of ideas, new inventions and old friendships percolate, produce and persist. Come this way as a dead end is circumvented to show an open road.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlongside Rhys Ifans, guests set to appear on the album include influential British MC Killa Kela and the physical infrastructure of Cardiff, Wales’ capital city itself, as field recordings of percussive strikes on metallic structures make their way onto the record, symbolising the freedom with which ideas entered the studio from all possible sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferring to classical composer, Henry Purcell with a bassline inspired by 300-year-old examples of the same, plus completing one demo that has existed in one form or another since 1998, DK.01 will reveal and celebrate the elasticity of time and the musical ideas within it, as it will inevitably expose the band’s own liberty to do just as they please.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003e1 Best Mindfuck Yet\u003cbr\u003e2 Out Of This World\u003cbr\u003e3 Nuthin Sandwich\u003cbr\u003e4 Shakedown\u003cbr\u003e5 Best Mindfuck Yet Reprise\u003cbr\u003e6 A Ride\u003cbr\u003e7 Collide\u003cbr\u003e8 Katal\u003cbr\u003e9 Pain Down The Drain\u003cbr\u003e10 Montezuma\u003cbr\u003e11 Holy Shit\u003cbr\u003e12 Masters Of Mankind\u003cbr\u003e13 Collide Reprise\u003cbr\u003e14 Alligator\u003cbr\u003e15 Sky\u003cbr\u003e16 Sorry\u003cbr\u003e17 Wired For Sound\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strangetown Records In association with Amplify Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42468361601180,"sku":"STR062VY","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/2_9d390d2d-d5c4-47ee-bc08-3525c1297342.jpg?v=1682264985","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/das-koolies-dk-01-2lp-colour-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
