THE COOLIES- DIG..? [DB 1986]

I first discovered The Coolies through PYLON and DB records. Their debut Dig..? is made up of mostly Simon and Garfunkel covers, playfully embracing and mocking the band. The tongue and cheek vibes of the record are reminiscent of bands like TOY DOLLS, and DEAD MILKMEN but with more new wave sensibility. There’s some similarity to PYLON but The Coolies execute things more humorously with a touch of folk and country. The back cover features a short Q and A, giving you a feel for what your in for. Some tracks skip a little and I've left out 'El Condor Pasa' due it not coming out right; I’ll try to replace the link once I get a new needle. Highlight tracks include ‘Homeward Bound’ and ‘The Only Living Boy In New York’. hg
