DOWNLOAD: Meanderthals - Kunst Or Ars
As technology advances, the world's appetite for speed grows ever more intense, always finding new ways for us to get more done faster. Meanderthals can hardly be blamed, then, for offering a more leisurely-paced alternative on their forthcoming debut album, Desire Lines. Consisting of London dub-house duo Idjut Boys and Oslo's Rune Lindbæk, Meanderthals conjure breezy, seaside atmospheres that split the difference between Balearic boogie and stoned psychedelica. On "Kunst or Ars," their bent and stretched guitar leads arch over an easygoing combination of clave flecks, pastoral acoustic strums, slow-handed funk bass and shimmering steel drum melodies. Satisfying like a long, hard-earned stretch or a frosty beverage on a hot day, Meanderthals' serene tunes remind listeners to take it easy.
