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.”

The EP is due for release in April 2018.

Irish band Subplots has announced the release of a new single on April 27th through Cableattack Records!!.

Equal parts haunting and ambitious, Unspeak is the band’s first release with a new expanded line-up.

Now a trio, drummer and composer Ross Chaney has joined Subplots as a contributing member. Brother of bassist and keyboard player Daryl Chaney, Ross has played live with the band since the release of their acclaimed album Autumning in 2015.

Subplots are now based between Ireland and Canada, with vocalist Phil Boughton currently living in Toronto.

Unspeak began as a live recording of the trio – on guitar, bass synth and two busted old ARP synthesizers providing bass drum and hi-hat sounds. Vocalist Phil Boughton recalls, “The song grew around this simple skeletal recording of the three of us playing in a room. It shifted, and evolved over time with new parts added – but still that original foundation of the recording has remained intact.”

The band had access to some very unusual synths while recording the track, the rarest of which – a Synton Syrinx – is a big feature of Unspeak. “Only a few hundred of these Dutch synths were ever made, they now sell for tens of thousands. It’s definitely one of the weirdest, most interesting and inspiring synths we've ever used.” Phil says.

Unspeak is released on April 27th and will be available on all online music platforms.

Following on from recent single Unspeak, The Signal Drops finds the Irish trio exploring different territory - fusing afrobeat rhythms and sharp guitar melodies with dense modular synth textures.

Subplots recently expanded to become a three-piece, with drummer and composer Ross Chaney joining existing members Phil Boughton and Daryl Chaney. “The Signal Drops” was one of the first songs the trio wrote together, Ross explains: "The song was written when we were playing live promoting the last album. I was just playing around with some Tony Allen inspired grooves in rehearsal, and finally settled on these patterns. It became something we’d start rehearsals with - and gradually the song grew around the drum patterns. It felt like a blueprint for a new way of working, which was really exciting."

The Signal Drops is available now on Spotify, Bandcamp and all other online music platforms.

The Signal Drops

Subplots music has often been noted for its collage-like quality - textures and instruments coalesce to create music that 'unfurls rather than explodes' (Irish Independent). The trio have released two albums, critically acclaimed in their homeland. Their last album ‘Autumning’ won fans further afield - with US tastemakers Stereogum likening the band to a cross between The National, Radiohead and The Twilight Sad, "and you'd do well to venture in to that zone." (Stereogum). The band has shared stages with the likes of Luke Abbott, Foals, No Age and Glass Animals.

Unfurling

Dublin Subplots have just released their excellent third album A Silent Phase. A three piece comprising Philip Boughton, Daryl Chaney, Ross Chaney, they've been going for over a decade. Philip discusses recording the new album at a studio residency in Rotterdam, tries to explain synths to me, how they've dealt with one member now residing in Canada and lots more.

Hailed by Folk Radio UK as a "refreshingly unique new talent", Kevin Fowley has captured listeners with his distinctive guitar style and literary lyrics, since the release of his debut record, Oh Mongrel, in 2018. The self released EP, produced and arranged by Ross Chaney, has earned him comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake and John Martyn.

Having had a number of appearances at Irish festivals, including Body & Soul, and performances in his native Dublin following his first record, Fowley is now set to release his follow up record in the coming year.
