I Won't Let You Down

"Housed in a remote Texan barn, Khruangbin seem to bury deep within themselves.  Sounding like little else around - a colourful fusion of groove-based crate-digging and blistering psych - the band fused their sound from lengthy, exhausting rehearsals.

Lauded by Bonobo, debut single 'A Calf Born In Winter' has become a cult favourite. Utilising the flexibility of jazz but with something almost approaching the directness of hip hop, the group's instrumental prowess is matched to an astute song writing ability. 

New EP 'The Infamous Bill' drops on October 6th via Late Night Tales side label Night Time Stories, a wide ranging exposition of this Texan trio. Recalling the easy-going funk of The Meters but with a very modern attitude, Clash is able to premiere the title cut and it's a winner."

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.”
