Sonya Spence - Let Love Flow On - High Note 1981

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."

NTS Radio - August 2015 Residency - Part 1

Israel (Sparring) - Chance The Rapper & Noname Gypsy

Our good friends https://soundcloud.com/khruangbin brought their blend of ambient guitars and 'thai-funk' to the lawn stage on Sunday afternoon this year. It was a magical journey of meandering music that caught pretty much everyone off guard, in a great way, https://soundcloud.com/move-d even went as far as defining it as his favourite moment of the entire festival. We recorded the set and here it is, one of the only recorded live sets you'll find of this very special band.

Gottwood Mix #018 - Khruangbin (Live From Gottwood)

I believe we have a firmly rooted responsibility to be conscious consumers, using our ability and access to make choices that have minimal impact, and push companies to make decisions that actually take care of people and the planet.

In this society, it’s easy to lose sight of our connection not only to the natural world, but also to each other. We can prefer to believe in a false sense of isolation… allowing ourselves to feel disconnected from each other, where our food/clothes come from, and from the larger cycles that we are undeniably a part of. This mindset puts us out of touch with how our individual actions directly and immediately impact those around us. Such lack of awareness is only exacerbated by marketing schemes that essentially brain wash us to believe whatever will best suit large corporate interests.

 We are all a part of the same energy and life source… so this is a call to action!! Live in consideration of our limited resources, and unnecessary environmental destruction. Let’s refuse to be mindless “walking billboards” and instead be CONSCIOUS, INTENTIONAL and MINDFUL in any and all aspects of life.

RESPECT
APPRECIATE
LOVE
 
ALL BEINGS AROUND YOU,
STARTING WITH YOURSELF. <3


LYRICS: 

v1.
SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO SEE
GOTTA LOOK AT THE FOREST 
& NOT JUST THE TREES
WHAT WE’VE BEEN LIVING IN
AND BABY
MAYBE I’VE BEEN TRIPPIN
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE’VE BEEN SIPPIN
ON THAT KOOL AID

LIKE HAS ANYBODY NOTICED
THAT WE’RE ALL JUST WALKING BILLBOARDS
& A LOGO HAS MORE POWER THAN A GOVERNMENT
BUT ANYWAYS

I’VE JUST BEEN WONDERING
WHY I CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE SKY
LIKE GETTING VERTIGO ON A DIVE
WE’VE JUST BEEN GOING UP & DOWN
CHASING OUR BUBBLES AROUND
FOLLOWING THE LOUDEST SHOUT
DISTRACTED BY ALL THE SOUND

chorus.
SO WHAT IS THE PLAN?
CUZ I’VE BEEN LOSING SIGHT OF IT
IS THERE A VISION?
CUZ I CAN’T GET INSIDE OF IT
HOW WILL WE SUSTAIN? (x2)
DOES NO ONE ELSE FEEL THIS PAIN
THAT’S WELLING UP LIKE
(IT’S BUILDING UP IN MY TISSUES)

CUZ I CANNOT DEFINE
WHO IS ME
WHAT AM I
SEPARATE FROM WHAT EXISTS AND
I KNOW WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
SO FIND YOUR LOVE
DROP YOUR WALLS
& LETS BEGIN

LET’S BEGIN TO HEAL
LET’S BEGIN TO FEEL
FEELING EACH OTHER
& FEELING THE PULSE OF WHAT’S REAL

v2.
I THINK IT’S EASY TO LOSE
THAT SENSE OF ONENESS AS SOON AS WE CHOOSE
TO CONSUME IT ALL
LIKE REALLY
WHY DO WE INSIST ON ISOLATION
EVEN IN OUR EDUCATION
INDIVIDUALITY ABOVE THE REST

CUZ IS A CHOICE REALLY FREE
IF IT TAKES THAT FREEDOM FROM SOMEBODY ELSE
AND IS A CHOICE REALLY FREE
IF IT’S DRIVEN BY WHAT YOU’VE SEEN ON TV

bridge.
BECAUSE I NEED YOU
JUST AS MUCH AS YOU NEED ME
JUST AS MUCH AS WE BOTH NEED
THE BEES & THE TREES
WHY’S THAT SO HARD TO SEE
I MEAN
WE DON’T LIVE SOLITARILY
I MEAN
WHY’S THAT SO HARD TO SEE

The Pulse Of Whats Real
