  Wat zullen we nu weer eens draaien......

  Where an artist like DJ Shadow works similar techniques and materials to create brooding atmospheres, Koala is resolutely comic in spirit, his ever wry sense of humour sometimes veering towards Pythonesque silliness. It’s an appealing quality on first encounter, if less so over time. For all the buffoonery, however, his restraint shines through. He deploys scratches to alter the flow, or to carry nicely curved melody lines. Grooves are picked up like coins lying in the road, then casually discarded. For all its deliberately lo-fi flourishes, this is a quietly masterful concoction.
