Andrew Rothbard's solo debut is a tripped-out mix of pop-influenced folk and dark, heavy psych. He spent the last dozen years playing keyboards and bass (simultaneously) in the bands The VSS, Slaves and Pleasure Forever. After the demise of Pleasure Forever, Rothbard became a recluse, obsessively working on the songs that evolved into this album, as well as material for several albums yet to be released. The album was the first in a planned five-record series outlining the Discordiant concept of the "law of fives:" Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis, Parenthesis, and Paralysis, each of which represents a different stage of life. Upon it's release in 2006, some were to say that Abandoned Meander had a heavy California feel; elements of sunshiny pop, folk, rock and noise filtered through a mind-warped, psychedelic channel. It would be two and a half years until anyone would hear from Andrew Douglas Rothbard again.......
