Das Koolies' epic, twisted house-pop thriller 'A RIDE'
Grab a ticket and take A RIDE as Das Koolies’ release a seven-minute pre-album warp-pop-house thriller
Pulsing from the collective memories of four Super Furry Animals, beats, breaks and bleeps fuel their Das Koolies venture, setting dials for the release of debut album, DK.01
Guitar lines that emerged in the dead of night, lyrics that sail over geographical borders and beyond nationality to follow filthy money, smooth harmonised vocals and all colours of beats, breaks, squelches and bleeps combine in rich symphony make A Ride perhaps Das Koolies most mind-blowing/mind-expanding release yet.
The band says of The Ride: “Maybe this one’s about thieves in public school uniforms and their tax haven stashes. The start was pure electronic. Then the vocals pushed open a door. What was behind it was kind of bizarre. But, then, that’s music.”
After last appearing on stage together in December 2016 as Super Furry Animals, the members of Das Koolies reconvene for their first, three announced shows this autumn, on the day of and following the release of DK.01. With hints of more to come, the confirmed, intimate instore shows are as follows:
Fri 22 Sep – Rough Trade East, London
Mon 2 Oct – Rough Trade Bristol
Tue 3 Oct – Rough Trade Nottingham
