Starchild

Dreams

Released on white vinyl 7" for RSD14, full release on 9th June 2014.

Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Texas, formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums.

Mark and DJ's roots are in R&B, Hip Hop and Gospel having played within the same gospel band for years. Both professional musicians, Mark began teaching Laura how to play bass in the summer of 2009. As such, Laura quickly developed a huge passion for the instrument and the aesthetic it brought to music she loved. Having worked studiously on developing her skills, both Mark and Laura were invited to tour with Ninja Tune's YPPAH supporting Bonobo across his 2010 American tour. 

The tour galvanised the two of them to start making music together more seriously, sowing the first seeds of Khruangbin. Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - Khruangbin literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - the two took a trip to a barn deep in the Texas countryside and jammed for the entire weekend, developing a sound which was steeped the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration. Khruangbin was formed, with D.J. the natural go to for drums.

Having kept in touch, Bonobo included Khruangbin's 'A Calf Born In Winter' on his 2013 'Late Night Tales' compilation. In addition to increasing the Stateside following the band has built, the release has helped Khruangbin in topping both the US & UK 'Last FM' fastest growing artists whilst 'A Calf Born In Winter' continues to be one of the most popular single downloads from the compilation. The band recently signed to LNT offshoot Night Time Stories, with an album planned in 2015.

“The beauty, cooperation & abundance found in nature embodies the earth’s deep love for us all. Each part of life sings it’s existence and contributes to this great love song! Bees pollinating flowers, whales singing to one another, even when one being dies to nourish another we see the cycles & interconnectedness of life. ‘Canta,’ meaning ‘Sing’ in Spanish, asks us to think deeply about what it truly means “to love” & implores us to do our part to care for all life, all earth, with our actions.” – Amo Amo

Canta la luna
Canta la vie
Once was an Eagle
Now is a bee

Canta el arbor
Canta la flor
Sing the whales
From the oceans core

“Love me the way you say you do
I’ll love you the way I say I do”

Once was a goat
Now a mountain lion
Such is the way
For all beings alive

Let there be death
Let there be birth
Such is the way
For all beings on earth

There’s still a little more room
Left in my heart for you yeah
So love me the way you say you do

Stream 'Vertebrae' : https://channo.fanlink.to/vertebrae

Following the release of their noteworthy 'Underwater Heart" Ep, including a beautiful cover of Domenique Dumont's, and a first single ,'OMO' on the French label, the idyll with Nice Guys continues with 'Vertebrae'.
 
Recorded in the late hours of the night, this track often illudes to pack pain as a metaphor for the stresses that come with being human. There is no set interpretation, everyone is holding up their own weight in a different way... The Australian producer and singer shows once again that he knows how to deliver an emotional, meaningful song yet undeniably groovy.
