Gems

She Killed Me With Her Eyes

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.

Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - Khruangbin’s debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is steeped in the bass-heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks, and surf-rock cool. The Texan trio is formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums.

‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was recorded at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside where their first rehearsals took place. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favourites were the '60s and '70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock, and funk. This had a heavy impact on the direction of the band, the scales they used, and the inflection of the melodies; which coupled with the spaciousness of the Texan countryside culminated in Khruangbin forming their exotic, individual sound. 

“We feel like there is an ease that comes from being immersed in a space, away from the distractions of the city and everyday life. We make our music in a barn, in the Texas hill country, because it makes sense to us. Being there allows us to make music that comes naturally, and that’s what we wanted this album to be. We wanted to make a record that just let the music happen, and we hope that’s what you can hear.”

Khruangbin - Two Fish and an Elephant

* All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Yellow House.
* Mastered by Fin Mastering.

Lyrics:

Washed out with the rain
But I’d do it again
Trade in your blues
For a better view
I know it’s a dismal game we play
I know you’re testing me

Sleep off the pain
And try again
Blackout your eyes
With a better high
I know about the twisted rites you hide behind
I know you’re testing me

Rip off the veil
Of this hellish tale
Slip through the back streets
And cover up your trail
I know it’s the vague and dark you’re drawn too
I know you’re testing me

A Carnival of Fears

Better Views

* All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango
* Mastered by Fin. Mastering

Lyrics:

I don’t understand it, 
Tell me, does it show?
Feel overwhelmed by
A lack of control
Kick back and leave me in the cold
It’s fine, I’ve never needed anything to hold onto
Now you say you want another lover at your door?
No, I don’t wanna play the same game anymore
You wanna leave tonight
Leave before the light
Can offer us a bit of life

I never found out that peace of mind
Was an illusion bound and tied
Behind thick walls of blues and greys,
The haze we’d dreamt up to disguise the pain
Hold on now, the feeling that it brings
Is just a temporary pain
And I’m never gonna bring it back ‘round here again
I’m gonna leave tonight,
Leave before the light
Can offer us a bit of life
Sever the chord that ties
These tiring eyes
To the dark in wait behind

Lyrics:

Heaven knows I’ve been dreaming.
Cut the cord,
Leave me here 
Suspended on a whim

Or maybe I’ll get another drink in,
Lose all sense of rhyme
And reason
And slow down my thinking

Blacken out the sun
With a new point of view
Ideologies stumble out of 
This smoky room
How can I be so young
But feel so used?
Breaking out of the mould
I feel brand new
How about you?

Stepping out of mind,
Been in here for a minute
Tainted youth,
Devilish schemes,
Left me black and blue
Forge another identity
To live by
God, I’d do just about anything
To get through to you

Blacken out the sun
With a new point of view
Ideologies stumble out of 
This smoky room
How can I be so young
But feel so used?
Breaking out of the mould
I feel brand new
How about you?
