Meanderthals – Desire Lines

Smalltown Supersound / 2009 / download

Meanderthals = Idjut Boys + Rune Lindbaek. Balearic, acustic, de vara.

Meanderthals – Andromeda (Idjut Boys Remix)

“Urban Dictionary defines the term “meanderthal” as one who adopts “a weirdfunky sort of ‘non-linear’ and integral approach in day-to-day routine. To the outside observer, [their movements appear to happen in] a randomly chaotic,somewhat disjointed fashion, but the great productivity achieved thru this process by its skilled practitioners mayoften seem antithetical to the methodology of it.” In other words, whereas most folks would merely walk a straight line, the meanderthal dawdles, weaves, and disrupts everyday patterns, but still gets the job done.

[…] Add to that list of disguises Meanderthals, a studio project that sees the Boys holing up in the Oslo, Norway studio of space-disco purveyor Rune Lindbaek—and Lindbaek flying to London to do the same. The seven long tracks that comprise the trio’s debut, Desire Lines, turn smooth-listening adjectives
like “fusion,” “West Coast psychedelia,” and “nu-disco” on their noggins, suspending them in an extended keg stand ’til they’re woozy, gassy, and a tad tipsy. The record hangs together even as it sounds amoebic, anthropomorphic, and genre-less. Its glimmers of dub, country, jazz lite and dark, psychedelic space rock, soundtrack noir, and funk are propelled by twinkling steel drums, cavernous house meters, and dark electronic throbs.” FACT Magazine
