Duration: 4 min 55 s
Description: Khruangbin, Live at KTRU on The Local Show

This sounds remarkably like August Twelve off The Universe Smiles Upon You. Thoughts?

Khruang Bin

Wild Woman- (recorded live)

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.

Khruangbin - A Calf Born In Winter

Khruangbin are the Texas based three-piece that make psychedelic, acid jazz infused Thai funk music. Oh yes. Comprised of Laura Lee, Mark Speer and Donald Johnson, the trio have supported Bonobo across his USA tour and even had a track included in his Late Night Tales mix last year.LNT's artist label Night Time Stories subsequently signed them up, with single 'A Calf Born In Winter' released 19th May and an album in the works. Providing the soundtrack to your dreams and entering i-D's mid-week wind down session for their first ever mix, these are the psychedelic sounds of Khruangbin. Drift off.

"This is our very first mix tape. As such, we wanted to draw on original inspirations to each of us individually in the band, as well as together. In this we pull on Acid Jazz, Gospel, Brazilian Funk and Psych, Thai & Japanese Pop/Rock, "farm rock", Dub, Funk, and R&B to hopefully create a mix that is varied in style yet cohesive in feel. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it."

Khruangbin - The Recital That Never Happened

Cisco Blue

"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."

Monster Rally & Jay Stone - Lake Merritt

RAD - GREEN EDITION

“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.

"This was initially intended for a full band with a string section and all, but after we tracked the demo live in the room it just felt right and I didn't wanna touch it after that. So that's how we left it." - HEK

Khruangbin, Live at KTRU on The Local Show

Khruangbin - Start, You, The End Starts Again

KTRU Live was concocted as a way to share all the hundreds of hours of live recordings KTRU 96.1 FM has produced with the fine people of the world.  

Each set was painstakingly recorded under extreme duress with the bare-minimum of requisite equipment, staff, and sleep. We present them here to you, almost exactly as they were when they were first aired.

All recordings are distributed with permission.
