Album of the Week: Meanderthals 'Desire Lines'



A couple of years ago we had Studio. We then had A Mountain Of One. And now we have Meanderthals. They all have in common the fact that they produce a very particular sound that is difficult to label. I believe it won't take long before somebody comes up with a brilliant idea to tag this mix of Progressive, 70s West-Coast, Dub, Kraurock, Electronica, Balearic and Psychedelia kind of music. Never mind the label, the soothing effect it creates when you listen to it is just amazing. I am not talking about Cafe Whatever or Buddha Lift music. What London's Idjut Boys and Oslo's Rune Lindbaek came up with is the ideal dreamscape. Record of the week, of the month of the year of course! Unfortunately there is only one track to listen to on MySpace so you will have to google elsewhere if you want a preview. But it is pretty safe to just head to Piccadilly Records and purchase their album on CD or on Vinyl.
