For information on future dates, sign up for updates at daskoolies.co.uk Accustomed to pouring lush, West Coast harmonies into the melting pot of electronic experimentation, Das Koolies make a mesmerising, mantric monument to the distilled joys of music making with the latest release Wired For Sound, raised from the treasure-strewn rock bed of their imminent debut album, DK:01. Engineers in audio together for more than three decades, Huw ‘Bunf’ Bunford, Cian Ciarán, Dafydd Ieuan and Guto Pryce, finally confirmed that the oft-mooted, never-fully-confirmed nor realised techno-indebted Das Koolies would begin releasing music back in early-2020. With the tripwires of recent history successfully navigated, and the release of this year’s sell-out EP, The Condemned, filed as a critical and fan-favourite, the extensive, 17-track album files a key chapter in the four musicians’ explorations of song and sound. Released this Fri 22 September 2023 on Strangetown Records in assoc. with Amplify Music, the free-spirited quartet leapt into DK.01’s recording sessions with few limits other than to sideline the acoustic guitar and to work to a beat established when they first met in the fields and warehouses of an early 1990s north Wales acid house scene. Where previous releases, not least the album-launching Best MIndf*ck Yet, featuring friend and actor, Rhys Ifans, have stated uncompromising bombast and immediate connection with that synth-fired past, Wired For Sound’s lightness, in both weight and hue, repeated choral refrain, vocal harmonies and peals of guitars will immediately remind fans of their well-documented Furry exploits. Whilst liberating themselves from the past in many senses, the recognition of history and sense of repurpose pervades this mesmerising, ready-made set closer, appropriately cast as the perfect finale as listeners read the end of DK.01’s winding road. Wired For Sound was produced by Das Koolies and mixed in collaboration with MPG (Music Producer’s Guild) UK Music Producer of the Year 2022 Marta Salogni (Bjork, Depeche Mode). DK.01 will be released in multiple physical formats, including Dinked collectors’ edition recycled coloured vinyl with bonus 7", Bandcamp and Indies recycled coloured vinyl, black recycled double vinyl, CD, recycled cassette and digital.
