{"product_id":"the-condemned-ep","title":"The Condemned EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eHit-writing anti-icons, Das Koolies emerge to explode three decades of digression as Super Furry Animals with their electronic depth-charge debut EP: \u003ci\u003eThe Condemned\u003c\/i\u003e. Huw Bunford, Cian Ciarán, Dafydd Ieuan and Guto Pryce restore original Furry vision with techno-inspired, heavy-tech sound inspired by illegal rave roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA past fades out for a future to begin as the long-running, secretive Das Koolies ‘dream project’’, emanating from Cardiff’s post-industrial docklands, delivers its first consignment of complex, wired euphoria: The Condemned. Chains of decayed connection and shackles of genre-expectation are audibly broken as Huw Bunford, Cian Ciarán, Dafydd Ieuan and Guto Pryce re-route their paths as notorious scientists of sound, taking the outside lane to arrive close to where it all began for Super Furry Animals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoldering human touch to synths and samplers, Das Koolies come through on their manifesto pledge of incinerating acoustic guitars while unsafely loading as much noise- making machinery onto their studio mains supply as possible. The Condemned, a confrontational, synth-driven outsider anti-anthem comes through as a warm-blood-on-cold- steel rope act of strict automation and humanity, commanding computers and code to find compromise with Ieuan and Bunford’s vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll tracks from the forthcoming EP were produced by Das Koolies and mixed in collaboration with Chris Shaw (Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Run-DMC). In a brief statement, Das Koolies say: “Everything for a reason and a reason for everything. A beginning catalysed by the past. Of machines and of man. Let the beat now lead the way.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amplify \/ Strangetown Records","offers":[{"title":"White 12\"","offer_id":50527994184011,"sku":"2010120","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Das_Koolies_-_The_Condemned_EP_e578ae6d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728059565","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/the-condemned-ep","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
