Diggin’ This: Das Koolies – “Shakedown” (Strangetown Records)

 

The best track from an ambitious, eccentric, and endlessly creative new album that defies categorization.

 

 

 

Cardiff band Das Koolies is made up of Huw Bunford, Guto Pryce, Cian Ciaran, and Dafydd Ieuan, otherwise known as four of the five members of the Welsh rock group Super Furry Animals.

 

 

“Shakedown” is a spacey, quasi-Balearic, acoustic guitar-led alt-indie singalong.
