Idjut Boys
Versions (Smalltown Supersound)
7/10
The adage about form being temporary and class being permanent perfectly describes the Idjut Boys. For over two decades, London disco duo Conrad McDonnell and Dan Tyler have kicked against the ersatz club trends and quick-buck houseonomics that have dominated dance music.
Like mentor and early inspiration, DJ Harvey, they've done it via gorgeously winding grooves and glittering, Balearic-tinged disco. Now on Norwegian disco label Smalltown Supersound, 'Versions' sees the Idjuts bring new life to a collection of sprawling, dubby disco from the vaults; the reverb, gossamer-light acoustic guitars and feathery instrumentation on 'Another Bird' and 'Going Down' are aural sunshine, gently kissing your bare skin.
