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.

When This Is Over is one of those songs that instantly felt special as soon as it came into being. One of the things I got fairly obsessed with while writing songs for the new album was searching for interesting combinations of instruments, and contrast between electronic and ‘real life’ sounds. I feel like this song is the perfect example, because the first half is so sparse and electronic, then the whole track turns on it’s head with children singing, guitars, organs and flutes playing and psychedelic sounds whizzing past your ears. -Dan, Cut/Copy

When This Is Over

A celestial chill out track floats on airy pads, gentle synth arpeggios, and deep sub bass, anchored by a relaxed electronic beat with subtle percussive textures, Sparse electric piano chords weave through ethereal layers, building a dreamy, spacious sonic landscape
