Meanderthals

The aptly named Meanderthals certainly are a collaborative project between two longtime dance music fixtures: the London-based DJ/production duo Idjut Boys (Dan Tyler and Conrad McConnell) and Norwegian electronica veteran Rune Lindbaek. Sketching on their distributed like of eclectic left-field disco, Meanderthals favour live instrumentation over overtly digital noises, and emphasize the mellower, psychedelic, and decidedly dub-influenced strains from the past due-2000s Balearic development. Though the individuals have been friendly for a long time, their cooperation didn’t happen until Tyler and McConnell occurred to miss a airplane flight back again to London carrying out a DJ engagement in Oslo. They known as up Lindbaek and finished up having an impromptu jam/saving program at his studio room, layering some bass, percussion, and guitars together with a monitor by Swedish early digital/ambient composer Ralph Lundsten. When Joakim Haugland of Smalltown Supersound Information heard the causing monitor, dubbed “Andromeda (Prelude to the near future),” he inspired the threesome to create more material for the full-length discharge. After some more periods in Oslo with a small number of local musicians, plus some editing and enhancing and post-production back London, Haugland got his desire, and Desire Lines fell in-may 2009.
