Das Koolies have announced their second album.
The follow-up to 2023's 'DK.01' is titled 'Pando' and will arrive on May 9 via Strangetown Records in association with Amplify Music.
Recorded and produced by the four-piece in seclusion in Cardiff, it's previewed with the new single Som Bom Magnífico, a danceable fusion of psychedelia, soul and pop with looped beats, ascending synths and catchy hooks. Lead lyricist-vocalist Daf Ieuan said:
"Hindsight and rose-tinted glasses. It’s a song about a time when it was normal to order a veggie breakfast in hotels as a concession to a healthier lifestyle, then following up by requesting to see the ‘Breakfast Wine Menu’. As Lou Reed sang: "Wine in the morning!". Everyone should live like that for a while. Could be for a couple of days or a couple of decades. We’ve never laughed so much, but never again."
The band, comprising four-fifths of Super Furry Animals (Ieuan, Huw Bunford, Cian Ciarán, and Guto Pryce), will build up to the record's release with shows in Newport, Nottingham, London and Manchester between May 3 and 8. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (January 24).
