Mount Kimble and King Krule connect for the song and video ‘Blue Train Lines’. The track itself is a moody venture down the roods of fuzzy electronica with a post-punk edge. In fact, we’re going to go ahead and say that the tune is pretty flipping amazing. Now with the video, it is a recreation of masses amounts of research by two Anthropologists studying Ishi who is the remaining survivor of the Yahi tribe of California. The video is directed by Raf Fellner and Tegen Williams.

“The Blue Train Lines video is a fictional re-creation of two Anthropologists (Robert. F. H and Theodora. K played by Raf. F and Tegen. W) who have been called in by the authorities to study a man they seem to believe is the last of the Yahi of California.
Upon stumbling into civilisation in 1910 the man unknowingly became the life’s work and obsession of a pair of human scientists who housed and cared for him while they studied his every move.
However, the story takes a turn when the pair fall out and one of them tries to sell all his belongings on eBay. Luckily, the buyer, who goes by the name ‘Frank. L’, acquires all of the wild man’s things, only to reinvest them back into further studies in a tale exploring the lines between student, teacher, collaborator, scientist, historian and friend. Rest in peace Ishi.”
