Made with the help of contributors and influences as diverse as MC\u003cstrong\u003e Killa Kela\u003c\/strong\u003e, 17th Century composer, \u003cstrong\u003eHenry Purcell\u003c\/strong\u003e and their four decades together as \u003cstrong\u003eSuper Furry Animals\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album promises a genre-bending expansion of their most electronic-leaning and experimental ideas. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDK.01 re-opens the book on the quartet’s long-term friendship and musical union at the next chapter, with their meandering tale together having begun in the vortex of North Wales’ illicit rave scene in the early-1990s. Last seen on stage together as the Furries’ final tour concluded in 2016, \u003cstrong\u003eBunford\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCiarán\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eIeuan\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePryce\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlongside \u003cstrong\u003eRhys Ifans\u003c\/strong\u003e, guests set to appear on the album include influential British MC \u003cstrong\u003eKilla Kela\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReferring to classical composer, \u003cstrong\u003eHenry Purcell\u003c\/strong\u003e 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, \u003cem\u003eDK.01\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strangetown Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46535177797977,"sku":"SDZ-08352","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/products\/Das_Koolies_-_DK_01_-_CD.jpg?v=1681984187","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/das-koolies-dk-01","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
