- The new project from Idjut Boys and Rune Lindbæk will see release later this year.
Urban dictionary defines Meanderthals as "people who wander around aimlessly and always seem to get in your way in stores and supermarkets, chatting on their cell phones and paying no attention to their surroundings." To dance fans, however, the name will take on a new meaning in May as beardo disco fiends Idjut Boys and Norwegian maestro Rune Lindbæk have donned the name for a new recording project. And, yes, they've already got a full-length done.
The name? Desire Lines. The label? Smalltown Supersound. The date? May 5th. The trio worked throughout 2008, recording live in their London and Oslo studios, calling in the talents of Pete Z, Des Morgan, Per Martinsen (AKA Mental Overdrive) and more throughout the undoubtedly Balearic-tinged proceedings. And while we haven't heard the results yet, we're guessing that the PR's description of the tunes as a "blend of dub, folk, prog, kraut, psychedelia and 70s west-coast" is pretty much right on the money.
