With or Without you Energy

Nobody Scared

We've all been in a room with no way out. Wether it be in relationships or falling back into bad habits. This room is Luke's room and you have the key.

This is a single from my debut album ‘Who do you want to be, L.A.Byrne?’

‘Who do you want to be?’ - What a question. Throughout our lives it appears again and again. It is both a question we ask ourselves and one that is asked by others. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer and do we ever really know? In this debut album I have put forward this question to my best friend and vocalist Luke, L.A. Byrne.

Together, we explore Luke’s life over the past three years, with the pressure of turning 30, causing a mixture of angst, uncertainty, and a feeling of failure. With moving to Denmark pre-Brexit, he finds himself stuck in limbo, with a clouded sense of belonging and identity. We reflect on his relationships back home in Yorkshire and how they intertwine with his life and relationships here in Denmark.



In my home studio in Copenhagen’s northern district, Nørrebro, we spent 18 months mapping out this period of Luke’s life, listening to a mixture of Motown, House, hiphop and RnB - the record definitely nods to all these genres. We spent many nights in smokey Bodega’s, imagining what this record could be, and more often than not, the headaches from the night before shaped what the record became.

This is a multi-genre record that acknowledges music from both the past and today. Driven by the Korg minilogue synthesiser, soul samples and a TR-8 drum machine, I tried to encapsulate everything that has inspired us to make music. You could call it a modern interpretation of the past, with nostalgia echoing through the music, Luke’s life and my own.

So ‘Who do you want to be?’

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.

Fatal Fantasies

Around The Sun

Poolside - Around The Sun

Can we blow on each other
Some air until we see the planet on fire
The smoke is just a fog but grey only covers
The brain is not asleep
It burns in the eyelids

Ah 

Just the time for another
Of our sleepless night on the bridge to the stars
And trying to stop the ink from starving the old page
Then bringing down the moon to wake up a lost kid

Ah

Are we moving together 
Or maybe it’s just a tale to feel slightly better
If no one in the end looks after the other
As long as they have all the drugs
To shut down and harness

I’m collecting the courage
To lead and not oppress your heart
When you need to scream louder
Now the shame is hard to see here
Now the shame is hard to see here 

Ah 

Can we blow on each other
Some air until we see the planet on fire
The smoke is just a fog but grey only covers
The brain is not asleep
It burns in the eyelids

You - Elaine Malone (1000 Beasts Remix)
