Order now at: LNT shop: http://po.st/kbLNT Bandcamp: http://po.st/kbcamp iTunes: http://po.st/kbitunes Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - Khruangbin’s debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is steeped in the bass-heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks, and surf-rock cool. The Texan trio is formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums. ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was recorded at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside where their first rehearsals took place. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favourites were the '60s and '70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock, and funk. This had a heavy impact on the direction of the band, the scales they used, and the inflection of the melodies; which coupled with the spaciousness of the Texan countryside culminated in Khruangbin forming their exotic, individual sound. “We feel like there is an ease that comes from being immersed in a space, away from the distractions of the city and everyday life. We make our music in a barn, in the Texas hill country, because it makes sense to us. Being there allows us to make music that comes naturally, and that’s what we wanted this album to be. We wanted to make a record that just let the music happen, and we hope that’s what you can hear.” http://khruangbin.com http://khruangbin.bandcamp.com http://soundcloud.com/khruangbin http://twitter.com/khruangbin http://facebook.com/khruangbin Follow Late Night Tales: Web: http://latenighttales.co.uk Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/latenighttales1 Twitter: http://twitter.com/LateNightTales SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/latenighttales YouTube: http://youtube.com/latenighttalestv Instagram: http://instagram.com/latenighttalesofficial Spotify: http://goo.gl/Q98T7d Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/curator/late-night-tales/1233898093 Bandcamp: https://latenighttales.bandcamp.com/ Genre Funk Comment by Antoinette Goosen 🔥 2024-04-16T08:44:16Z Comment by Shiva in Love with You nice 👽 2024-03-11T07:33:50Z Comment by Julz ace Here we go. 2023-11-11T06:54:26Z Comment by Julz ace Cmon 2023-11-11T06:53:42Z Comment by user3656987 Thank you 2023-04-16T14:53:23Z Comment by K.P always gives 2023-01-22T21:41:08Z Comment by Unividuality SO fun :) 2022-10-17T04:01:31Z Comment by April Flores 🖤its VeRY DoPee💘 2022-09-24T18:31:38Z Comment by Chris Johnson of Ottawa Steel Sooooo good. 2022-07-22T21:43:17Z Comment by sliz P4LLLLLL 2022-04-14T03:28:36Z Comment by @toan.win 👽✨ 2022-02-08T20:38:39Z Comment by mc Jurets мелодия эфира бесконечности 2022-02-05T18:15:27Z Comment by xxLil.Homiexx My lofe story 2021-12-09T04:51:21Z Comment by bubbajig these eyes 2021-09-20T15:06:42Z Comment by Richard Hart this song makes me wanna identify as a guitar... it/that 2021-07-12T01:15:43Z Comment by cotton beast rollin 2021-02-02T11:11:03Z Comment by joe dort 🔥🔥 2020-12-12T19:51:33Z Comment by Jhonny OH MY GOD 2020-09-22T03:50:18Z Comment by Krill Really nice! 2020-07-15T04:52:51Z Comment by Pxych Wxrd OBX 2020-07-05T17:31:34Z Comment by Schyzoᵈʳᵘᵐ ᵃᵑᵈ ᵇᵃˢˢ yeeeeeeeees!!!! 2020-06-20T21:05:55Z Comment by stcal being a wiggly lil stale bb (dance) 2020-05-25T15:11:59Z Comment by ❦ 𝑠.𝑎𝑔𝑒 outerbanks brought me here 2020-05-20T02:23:34Z Comment by Riley_garrison_ Outer banks 2020-05-12T20:12:41Z Comment by octokw I love this 2020-05-03T01:12:48Z Comment by octokw ok.ok.ok! 2020-04-28T01:26:06Z
