    This band connected on a higher power, spiritual level before making any music. I believe thats the no 1 rule for any relationship to work. Their musical skill/songwriting and production is amazing. Their playing is tightly in sync but has vibe, sounds authentic, not computerized.

    • @rembeadgc
      @rembeadgc 5 лет назад +17

      Interesting. I was annoyed at how she pointed at them and said "YOU" instead of their names. I don't think that's good for an interviewer to do. I do imagine that you identify, however, with her energy. Nothing wrong with that.

    Oh my goodness! I love them! Just discovered them today!
    I'm not young, so I often go back to 60's, 70's, 80's music but I'm also willing to wander. A lot of commenters on the old music say nothing good is produced today but they are so, so wrong!
    The interview was great. I'm sold. I'll be looking for more Khruangbin.

    Great interview, great band. One of those off-the-wall things you run into across the internet :) Their sound echoes a lot of the 60s "surf music" too, which is wonderfully relaxing and fun. These kids have picked up a lot of really good influences and made their own unique sound from it all!

    Just saw them at ACL and they were awesome. The band's camaraderie and stage presence really comes across to the audience that they were having as much fun as we were.
    They did this cool set where they played a bunch of little chunks of music from different 80's rap/hip hop songs that really took me back. So chill and funky and enjoyable.

    She can’t help herself. That’s what I love about these kids.

    • @StopMoColorado
      @StopMoColorado 5 лет назад +5

      Depends on your angle (what instrument do you play?)... Speer mentioned Jazz, Thai Funk, among others. DJ mentioned Gospel and Hip Hop beats, and Lee mentioned a smattering of influences, including "Latin Music" (a gigantic category). I'm a guitarist, so could recommend several different Jazz guitarists, totally depends on what direction you want to go. If you're a bassist, check out Stanley Jordan, Jaco Pastorius, for starters. They probably have too many influences to list out, if pressed. Again, it all depends on what Era you focus on and where you want to go with your own Music.
