No bars to break down; just a contemporary jazz vibe that delights guitar lovers and sonic focused people. It totally sucks you into a meditative space. And the drummer is so consistent that I think you could set atomic clocks to his beat. As crazy as life gets at times, I think we need more of this in our lives.
My 34 ytear-old daughter turned me on to this band and I am very grateful for that. A totally different sound.... not even sure what genre to place them in. I have since purchased all of thier music. They are on tour as I type. My daughter, her fiancee and myself drove 180 miles to Raleigh, NC to see them perform at the Red Hat Ampitheater (A 5,000 seat open-air venue that was sold out) a few days ago. I would drive another 180 miles to see them again, a fabulous show! Must listens: Evan Finds The Third Room/ Maria Tambien/ Mary Always/ Hasta El Cielo/ Mr. White/ White Gloves/ People Everywhere/ Dern Kala. Great reaction, TY. BTW, they are from Texas and first knew each other from church.
Pronounced: "KRUNG bin". It's Thai for "airplane". Mark Speer on guitar Laura Lee on bass & vocal DJ Johnson on drums, vocals & occasional keyboard (while drumming) Mark & DJ were friends for a long time before they met Laura. IIRC, the three just hung out for a while before Laura ever picked up the bass. They're from Texas, but I can't remember if it's Austin or Houston. Mark & Laura both wear wigs on stage & in interviews. Mark is huge fan & student of world music and draws inspiration from a lot of far & middle east genres.
The entire KEXP performance - and the one for Pitchfork - are sublime. Great background music. They did a collaboration with Leon Bridges in 2022 that's just wonderful.
Oh my goodness! Khruangbin is one of my favorite bands! Nothing like them!❤❤

I definitely agree! Great comment!

This singer looks super familiar, kexp is the best place to find the best, unique music. Good choice.
Smooth, meditative. I’d just close my eyes and listen and float. It’s peaceful! I like it! 💜💜💜
