My 36 year-old daughter turned her 67 year-old dad on to this band AND I AM SO, SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT! We all drove down to Raleigh, NC to see this band in a college town atmosphere and they did not disappoint. Laura Lee and Mark Speer wear wigs (They really don't want to be mobbed in public) and DJ Johnson is just DJ..... about as laid back as they come. You should check out thier story on how they got thier start, it's an amazing story. Best way to describe thier music, I like "Tai Funk" and think this is the best description, but Indie Alternative is also used to describe thier sound. Mark is the brains behind this 3-piece. Not many words are used and just act as space fillers when they do use them. They have 6 records out and only one of them has prominent vocals. Thier record Ali was cut with the world renowned vocalist Vieux Farka Toure and it is a banger! A great band with a great sound.
Guitarist and drummer were band mates at their church. Incidentally, it's the same church that Beyonce attended while growing up in Houston, TX. The bassist Laura Lee was a school teacher when she met the guitarist Mark Speer, who taught her to play bass. She wasn't confident to play publicly, but Mark assured her that she would do great. She did, and in no time quit her teaching job and joined Mark's band along with drummer 'DJ' Johnson. They pull influences from almost every music genre, and then fuse it with psychadelic overtones. Their music is definitely a vibe, and perfect for driving mixes. Along the same lines is a music genre called 'desert noir' and the band Still Corners is worth a listen if you like this type of music. If no one else has mentioned it, the name Khruangbin is the word 'airplane' in Thai. Great reaction. For a little more upbeat energy, check out any live version of 'People Everywhere (Still Alive)', but especially the one they recorded live for the BBC.
They really respect music. The instrumental it's above voices almost all time
I'm fully obsessed with this band.
I’m addicted to Khrungbin!
Love them! Such a unique world blend chill sound. Great musicians.

Man, I sure wish you’d react to Guy Clark - LA Freeway
He was the songwriter’s songwriter.
From Texas, my brother.
