you can tell she really loves the music and knows a lot about the bands before bringing them on. also, i emailed her once to ask about a Seattle musician who has disappeared from the scene, wondering if she had any 411. she emailed me back the next day and was very generous with her time. i can tell - a VERY nice person. you can sense that.
Legend has it that the drummer's star ship lost its course in the nether reaches of outer space. The drummer's mental metronome within his head kept beat with the stars at the center of galaxies until he found that he could communicate with them. Over the span of 6 millennia he taught them the essence of rhythm and synced their pulsing to his will. He left tiny pieces of his mind scattered throughout the universe which eventually became the pulsars we know of today.
@@aironovathuul My tale is true. I was there. I am the Star Child, born unto this universe as a culmination of all of the drummer's seeds of musicality; a flesh-born amalgamation of cosmic notes and chord progressions. I've stood dormant among the stars, germinating for eons, until I was ready--until He said that I was ready, and smiled down upon my cosmic form. With a warm glow of His synapse my form soared through the empty pathways of space--faster, faster, faster until I crash landed upon a small, barren rock floating around a yellow star. I stood. I began to walk, becoming accustomed to my new body. I was hot. I was glowing with life energy. Every step I took left behind a footprint of substance--life. The first step, a water droplet; the second step, bacteria; The third step, a nematode; The fourth step, a seed of vegetation; the fifth step, a bipedal mammal; the sixth step, humanity; the seventh step, the passage of time; the eighth step, music. After the eighth step I rested. I looked down upon what I had done and felt the coolness of His fulfillment wash over me. The remains of my body melted onto the firmament and became the seas. I gave the whales their songs, the birds their whistles, the wind its moaning, and humanity its voice. I am He. And He taps the beat of eternity upon his cosmic drum.
@@popodopulus3826 That 3 note repeated progression reminded me of The Psychedelic Warlords beginning at about the 2:45 mark on Hawkwind's fourth studio album Hall of the Mountain Grill (1974).
The exact same thing has happened to me at my workplace man. I've played Khruangbin so much and I've had like 4 or 5 co-workers stop me and ask who is this band. Like half of my workplace is on them now haha Khruangbin are seriously doing something right!
Obviously the young person had a good music education 😊 When my kiddo started talking about Captain Beefheart, many years ago now, I had the same reaction. Never forgotten ❤️
Was in a random store on the high street the other day and they were playing Khruangbin. I'd put decent money on their music being used as a film soundtrack one day.
Saw these guys tripping on acid. It was probably the most beautiful concert I've been to because it felt like Mark's guitar was telling me a story. It was like the sonic equivalent of a breeze blowing through your hair (or wig) on a hot summer day in California. On top of that, their musicianship is unrivaled. No flashy shit, no fighting for the spotlight. Just music. If you ever have an opportunity to see these guys live, please do.
This sounds like bliss. I'm glad to know somebody had the perfect experience with their music. It probably rivaled having the best sex of ones life while listening to it.
Cheryl Waters is one of the best interviewers I have ever had the privilege to watch. She is always so good, and this particular interview is, in my opinion, one of her very best.
I know some of you will think I'm saying this because she's drop dead gorgeous, but Laura Lee is one of the best bassists I've ever heard. First off, the volume level is perfect. Too many bassists, especially in a three piece band are TOO LOUD, she's not. But her playing is absolutely in the pocket, and she's not afraid of "space".....meaning she leaves bits of silence and "air" at certain times. I'd really like to know her musical background before she picked up the bass. All three of them are incredible as musicians. I do wish they could evolve into having a few more "vocal" songs. Otherwise, I'm just awestruck with the whole band.
I get what you are saying, but I can barely hear the line even when watching her play. I guess I need to download the stuff to a real sound system and get off the crappy laptop speakers..
Jack Bruce was guilty of this, and it was one of the reasons Clapton because tired of this lineup. Sad, even during the reunion concert Bruce walked back to his amp and turned it up to be louder than the rest. Ego kills.
I think she learned how to play bass when this band was born. I heard her say she learned to play off of "Scientist wins the world cup" a reggae record
When youtube algorithms reward your good taste in music with rhythms from heaven... just discovered this band and I have to say, this music is fantastic!
I think this has got to be the most clever and witty comment section I've ever seen. And it goes without saying that the music is out of this world good.
@Squirrel Master only thing I have against the band is the cutesy wigs and choreographed dance moves which overall just seems too hipsterish. But musically you're right, he's a great player, not many players these days can carry a band with a clean tone strat.
Gulaschiltis the funny thing is, she actually hasnt been playin for a long time. i think she started playing bass after meeting the two other guys and i hope im not spreading false info but i think i remember an interview where she said that mark (the guitarist) actually encouraged her later to go on tour, although she thought she wasnt good enough and everything. seems like she is good enough 😄
This is a perfect example why we need live music up and playing live again. How long will our restless souls have to wait to enjoy a good live show again especially with an act like this!
In my opinion, these guys are no question the best band making music right now. If you haven't seen them live yet you need to make it happen as soon as you can. They absolutely destroy every single time, and they never play the same song the same way twice
Thats a good and bad thing😂. Good for the artist to keep ideas coming and improve. But im the type i want to hear how it was on the album or how i heard it originally. Lol.
Crazy how they manage to sound like way more than three people. Watching Mark play is especially interesting: he's doing the work of two guitarists, returning to a rhythm part in each empty space, no matter how short, between his lead lines.
Love Khruangbin's hypnotic, lyrical eclecticism its stripped down energy. Also have to give props to Cheryl Waters. Empathetic, insightful, fun and able to relate to the artist -- just pure class.
Have you ever had one of those days where you know your thirsty you mouth is dry you think could this be hay fever? You try milk pop water coffee.....must be hay fever... And then for apparent reason while surfing youtube Khruangbin it doesn't sound very refreshing but it cured my hay fever. Khruangbin Absolutely love them there style of music is so fresh. I was floored There friggen awesome!!!!
I've been obsessed with this group since they came on NPR. Since then, I've been everywhere consuming all recordings I can find. However, i come back to this one repeatedly. Shout out to the sound team! This sounds too damn good for RUclips. We aren't worthy! Thank you!
Oh wow. Her awareness towards old Iran came as a nice surprise to me. I was here for the music but that's pretty awesome, these guys are aware of the world's cultures and history.
Some of the best, most chill stuff I've heard in 50 years. It's great hearing music that breathes. This stuff will activate your parasympathetic nervous system and soothe your soul.
He doing this without any picks. Finger to finger, just smoking. She's hot and a player while the drummer is just so kicked back throwing a beat in every time needed. Luv these guys.
I've watched this clip so many times. They're fantastic! Reminds me of that obscure (and taboo) wave of psychedelic rock that came out of Turkey during the 60's. Feels like soul surf music
KEXP brings "So good it HURTS!" music to us. I've discovered so many performers that BLOW MY MIND through these live performances. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I stumbled across this because Rhett Shull (@RhettShull) made a video on this band. It's a deep rabbit hole, but I'm not complaining. Amazed at the seeming simplicity of the music and the relative depth and breadth that is accomplished by a mere three members. DJ is one of the most on-time drummers I have watched and listened to, and with a very simple kit. Thank you all for this one 🙏
I recently saw a showing of the movie "Relentless" in Maui, the story of Dusty Payne, the surfer who almost died after wiping out on Oahu's North Shore. The footage of him surfing was accompanied with this amazing Khruangbin song; Maria Tambien. Outstanding music, excellent surf movie music.
Been listening daily for weeks now. Help! Wife caught the bug too and now demands it whenever possible... We might as well just play it in the delivery room while she goes to town(she's due in two weeks)! Fun facts that I found fascinating and a huge apologies if you knew already... 1. Mark Speer was a bassist but got more work playing the guitar, and that paid the bills. 2. Laura Lee learned how to play the bass just before joining the band. She had the same set of D’addario flat-wound strings on since 2010 just before she join the band. Those are the ones I liked...
Roy Chang fact 1 is surprising since 99 out of 100 stringed instrumentalists are guitar players. I've only met one bassist ive vibed with in 15 years of playing and I dont live in the sticks either. I suppose when you play like speer you get lots of offers though.
As a guitar player myself, I'm very happy to see a fellow man of the axe deliver his own sound. A thousand times better than ill ever be! The man an can flat out play!
Saw them live when they opened for Chicano Batman, I had never heard of them before then but I instantly fell in love not only with their music but with Laura, maaaaaaaan the way she plays the bass, the way she moves and the way she would just give a slight smile through their set. She definitely brings a wonderful/peaceful presence to the whole experience.
The bass swayer, the guitar slayer, and the beat layer

True
Couldn't agree more, every performance sounds amazing!
Noticed this too! I actually seek out new music thru them now. And def check out my faves.
The way she dances when playing bass really does something for me
im in love
The way she does anything
That side to side shaking thing just works.

Dunno why she had to interrupt between every single song though.

Was in a random store on the high street the other day and they were playing Khruangbin. I'd put decent money on their music being used as a film soundtrack one day.
Zeb Mm, yes, I can definitely see that, as well! Their music already seems to tell a story, so it'd really elevate movie scenes!
It's crazy how quickly they blew up from just 6 months ago when no one had heard of them yet.
These guys sound better live than on their albums.
Absolutely
Which is a mark, you know))) that means the band/performer is REALLY TRULY GOOD MUSICIAN.
KEXP also always do a great job on sound too
Good and great.
Great and good.
I was thinking the same thing. They are always amazing live.
One minute in and i can't believe my own ears
Drummer is a machine. The 3 of then together stay totally in sync.
The most explosive calm music I've heard in a long time!
Yes very wild yet restrained and passive.

If you'd be her for so long you'd be this cool too
Her musical guests are always on point!
Shes music mom
this band is bringing me back to life
She's so pretty, and everyone here is so talented. Love this band!
Laura asks rhetorically: "Who else is going to play guitar like Mark?"
The answer: No one on the planet!
I just took a 20 minute vacation... so relaxing.
Some of the best, most chill stuff I've heard in 50 years. It's great hearing music that breathes. This stuff will activate your parasympathetic nervous system and soothe your soul.
every once in a while, we are blessed with the opportunity to watch the reinvention of cool. Very, very cool. I'm now a fan.
May they remain in light!!!!
Discovered them today -the joy!!!🌹
These guys earn every shred of success and fame they get, seriously, what a fantastic sound.
Love how the Captions say 'Music' when they sing.
He doing this without any picks. Finger to finger, just smoking. She's hot and a player while the drummer is just so kicked back throwing a beat in every time needed. Luv these guys.
I've watched this clip so many times. They're fantastic! Reminds me of that obscure (and taboo) wave of psychedelic rock that came out of Turkey during the 60's. Feels like soul surf music
this band is a proper music for LSD
Anatolian Rock.
KEXP brings "So good it HURTS!" music to us. I've discovered so many performers that BLOW MY MIND through these live performances. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Indeed. Kruangbin and KG&TLW are two standouts.
exactly same thing! how it can be that good that you almost cry?
Laura Lee's melodic rhythmic bass beats speak to the soul.
I stumbled across this because Rhett Shull (@RhettShull) made a video on this band.
It's a deep rabbit hole, but I'm not complaining.
Amazed at the seeming simplicity of the music and the relative depth and breadth that is accomplished by a mere three members.
DJ is one of the most on-time drummers I have watched and listened to, and with a very simple kit.
Thank you all for this one 🙏
I recently saw a showing of the movie "Relentless" in Maui, the story of Dusty Payne, the surfer who almost died after wiping out on Oahu's North Shore. The footage of him surfing was accompanied with this amazing Khruangbin song; Maria Tambien. Outstanding music, excellent surf movie music.
Groovy is the word
KEXP. The musical goldmine.
Greetings from Brussels, Belgium.
Laura Lee should be the standard for everyone's answering machine.
YES
Aman Kumar ..this is the 3rd room
Chris Macdonald YES
You alright?
"YES"
Been listening daily for weeks now. Help! Wife caught the bug too and now demands it whenever possible... We might as well just play it in the delivery room while she goes to town(she's due in two weeks)!
Fun facts that I found fascinating and a huge apologies if you knew already...
1. Mark Speer was a bassist but got more work playing the guitar, and that paid the bills.
2. Laura Lee learned how to play the bass just before joining the band. She had the same set of D’addario flat-wound strings on since 2010 just before she join the band.
Those are the ones I liked...
Roy Chang Congrats!
Roy Chang fact 1 is surprising since 99 out of 100 stringed instrumentalists are guitar players. I've only met one bassist ive vibed with in 15 years of playing and I dont live in the sticks either. I suppose when you play like speer you get lots of offers though.
Thank you!
Any chance the baby's going to be named after one of the band members haha?
As a guitar player myself, I'm very happy to see a fellow man of the axe deliver his own sound. A thousand times better than ill ever be! The man an can flat out play!
Any KEXP upload makes a good day. Thank you
I'm addicted to this band
One of the most polarizing bands ever.
Saw them live when they opened for Chicano Batman, I had never heard of them before then but I instantly fell in love not only with their music but with Laura, maaaaaaaan the way she plays the bass, the way she moves and the way she would just give a slight smile through their set. She definitely brings a wonderful/peaceful presence to the whole experience.
I was there too! She clinked her glass with mine in the middle of the set lol, I've been obsessed since then too.
