Love Theme (feat. Kadhja Bonet)

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.

두부의맛

“This is the first song with lyrics we’ve ever written. We never really thought of ourselves as having a “singer” but we knew that we wanted a voice for Khruangbin. We decided to write about something close to us, tell a story as simply as possible, and sing it together.”
- Khruangbin

Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Texas, formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums. Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - Khruangbin is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool. Khruangbin's exotic, individual sound is captured at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside where their first rehearsals took place. Debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is scheduled for release at the end of this year.

프리즘


꼬여있던 세계가
모두 정리되는 듯하고
이제 몸을 풀어 볼 생각이야
사랑하면 모든 게
전부 내께 되는 줄 알았어
이젠 그건 아니란 건 알고 있어 

라이터로 불을 붙이고
종이를 넘어 산을 태우고 싶어
사랑하는 마음이 이런 형식이라면 
복잡하지 않고 정말 좋을 텐데


모르는 새 계절은
맑은 하얀 숨을 보이고
알코올로 몸을 좀 녹여볼까

잘 먹기만 해도 
금방 좋아질 줄 알았어
그게 안돼 솔직히 좀 두려웠어

술 마시고 소리를 지르고
눈물을 쏟아 어디든 채우고 싶어
살아가는 방식이 이래도 된다면
불안하지 않고 정말 좋을 텐데


수조안의 물고기처럼
허무한 얼굴로
길을 걸었어
둥근 세계를 뱅글 돌아가며
우린 어떤 곳에서
맞닿아있을까

내 이름을 부르는 네가 있으니까
괜찮은 얼굴로
노랠 부를 거야
지금 여기의 모두를 떠올려
우린 어떤 모습으로
사라지고 있을까


라이터로 불을 붙이고
종이를 넘어 산을 태우고 싶어
사랑하는 마음이 이런 형식이라면 
복잡하지 않고 정말 좋을 텐데

모임 별은 이천년 일월 우연히 만나 어울리게 된 이들의 비정기적인 술자리에서 시작되었으며, 현재 서현정, 이윤이, 이선주, 조월, 조태상, 허유, 황소윤으로 구성되어 있다.
일상의 경험들을 바탕으로 음악을 만들고 연주, 녹음하는 밴드이자 의뢰 받은 프로젝트를 수행하는 디자인 콜렉티브이며,
여전히 친구들의 술모임이다.

음반 관련 정보.
+ 음반은 열네곡으로 이루어졌으며, ‘모임 별’의 여타 음반들이 그러하듯 밴드 구성원 및 친구, 동료들의 일상사/상념들을 담고 있다.
+ ‘친밀한 적들’은 ‘비행선’이란 이름의 서울 서래마을 작은 바에서 열린
영업 마지막날 파티에 갑작스레 초청되어 처음 연주한 곡이다.
가게 문을 닫을 수 밖에 없던 젊은 사장님들을 위로하기 위해, 하루만에 작곡했기에 초기엔 제대로 된 명칭조차 없었으나, 이후 공연을 거듭하며 자연스럽게 ‘친밀한 적들’로 정리되었다.
:
2002년 이래 밴드에서 신디사이저 연주자로 활동해온 이윤이는 미술 작업에 전념키 위해 팀을 떠나기로 했다.
‘친밀한 적들’은 그의 녹음이 포함된 마지막 트랙이자, 밴드의 기타리스트인 조월과 새로이 멤버가 된 황소윤의 연주가 동시에 포함된 첫번째 곡이다. 특히 도입 및 후반부의 기타 솔로는 황소윤이 독자적으로 구성.
+ ‘박쥐들 우리는’은 2009년 10월 31일 열린 단독 공연에서 처음 공개 연주되었다.
+ 밴드는 음반의 커버 아트워크를 오랜 벗이자 동료인 미술작가 양혜규에게 의뢰했고,
음반의 데모 트랙들과 정보를 전달 받은 작가는 몇몇 기존 작업물을 변용한 안을 제안했으며, 의견을 모아 최종 결과물을 만들게 되었다. 음반 제목인 ‘주인 없는 금’은 커버 이미지를 만드는 과정에서 영감을 얻어 지어졌다.
+ 유일한 세션(‘불량배들, 서울’의 목소리)으로 참여한 장용석은
디자인 스튜디오 ‘모임 별’의 핵심 구성원으로서 다수의 프로젝트를 진행한 디자이너다. (그는 음반에 밴드 정식 멤버로서 이름이 명기되는 것을 두차례 거부했다)
+ 밴드는 뮤직비디오 연출을,
구성원인 조태상이 평소 팬으로서 작업을 좋아하던 미술작가 김희천에게 의뢰했다.
작가는 데모 상태인 음반 전체 트랙 및 정보 등을 건네 받은 후 ‘친밀한 적들’을 선정하여 작업했다. 이후 ‘태풍 전날 밤’과 ‘박쥐들 우리는’의 뮤직비디오는 밴드가 직접 제작.(Youtube의 ‘모임 별’ 채널)
+ '태풍 전날 밤'은 드러머 서현정의 스산한 브러시 연주 및
황소윤 본인의 표현에 따르면 "소소하게 기타로 만든 소리들"을 포함하고 있다. 
+ ‘콩 이야기’는 2018년 4월 22일의 공연에서 처음 공개 연주되었다. 2018년 12월 중 ‘콩 이야기’의 리믹스 음반(CD) 발매가 예정되어 있다.

From the album We're the Ones, released April 13, 2019
On limited edition clear orange vinyl & CD
Available at https://fold.bandcamp.com/album/were-the-ones

Having been played 3 times by Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music and made an editor's pick at Indie Shuffle, Teacher seems to be many people's top track from the album. There is a strong Brazilian jazz & psychedelic influence along with a Stereolab-esque indie sensibility and even a bit of Isaac Hayes and David Axelrod in the orchestration. It is a thoroughly organic sound with full horn section, string section, drums, bass and guitar all done live.

The speech is edited from a rather tender talk given to students by James Baldwin at a predominantly Black high school in Oakland, California 1963. On the one hand he highlights the function, importance and value of an education and finding self-worth in a white society. On the other hand there is a universal message about education being a two way street – that as students we must ask questions and as teachers we ought to keep our minds open to learning from those we teach.

DANIELLE PONDER &
KARATE BOOGALOO

“Look Around” ​out July 24, 2020 via ​Hopestreet Recordings​.

New York singer and activist ​Danielle Ponder pairs up with Melbourne cinematic soul outfit ​Karate Boogaloo to deliver ​“Look Around,” a haunting reflection on the times we live in. ​“Look Around” was written in the studio with the band in the first days of 2020 when Danielle was in Melbourne, and at the time was conceived as a cry for help in the literal firestorm that was engulfing Australia. As 2020 progressed, the words that came in that moment of inspiration seemed to reflect each of the multiplying calamities this year has presented. When the death of George Floyd ignited indignation across the USA and the world, the lyrics to Look Around could not have been more apropos.

In Danielle’s words: “fires were raging through Australia and smoke covered the sky. It felt like all of our human sins had gotten the best of us and we were paying a price. I didn’t know that when I arrived back home in the U.S, the world would only get darker. I feel like my past self wrote this song for my future self knowing what was to come.” ​This song would help Danielle through what has been one of the most painful times to be Black in America.

Coming from different continents and different backgrounds was no obstacle to Danielle Ponder and Karate Boogaloo forming an immediate musical connection in the studio. Karate Boogaloo is a formidable studio band with years of studious focus learning soul music and its history. The instant connection is obvious on ​“Look Around”, ​as the band and Danielle sound like they’d been playing together for years rather than hours. Black Lives Matter, while being a US based movement, has a strong resonance in Australia where Indigenous people are massively over-represented in prison populations and in fatal interactions with the police. Thus, sales in July and August are going to be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative in the USA and Warriors Of The Aboriginal Resistance in Australia.

Khruangbin is a band from Texas, started in 2011 by Laura Lee (bass), Mark Speer (guitar), and DJ (drums). We like to make music in a barn.
