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 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.”

I stopped drinking August 12 2020. I try not to be a jerk about it but I've been an alcoholic for a long time. I don't really tell alot of people. This band was my favorite new discover that year. These songs helped me work through to a better energy.
Thanks Kraungbin 🖤
I applaud you Sir! What a soundtrack you chose for your recovery!
i am an alcoholic sttill drinkin throu Khruangbin. At least some remedy. But hail Tu You, Andrew, wissh you luck
you did it on my birthday, proud of u !
Nice name man, holding up ok? Happy August 12th!
Hope you’re still doing well bud!
It's that time again, people of culture.
Someone commenter already noted, but the 2nd half of this song is devastatingly beautiful. I was next to the amp at Newport and it was an out of body experience.
Wasn't next to the amp but I was dead center at Artpark in Buffalo a week ago and this song did seem like an OBE. Such a beautiful piece of work, feel like I haven't come across many songs with the kind of weight and intention. So intensely beautiful ❤️
@@roryknight6983 Nice! Glad you got to experience it. They've definitely unlocked something from the cosmos with this one.
Its a hidden gem
second half is a vibe!!!!
Saw them in Olympia in Paris France, totally agree with you, i m obsessed by it as well, when they played it, a strong magnificent magic with a touch of nostalgia filled the room, that was incredible
The transition at 2:58 is incredible. By far one of my favorite new bands. My life is richer with Khruangbin in it.
I've been searching this song after I forgot its name. Only the beat was stuck in my head.
Literally gone through every single piece they made.
I will never lose Khruangbin again.
Musical PERFECTION starts at 2:57. These three were born to make music together. Even more impressive when you realize that Mark Speer taught Laura Lee how to play bass...in 2009! Donald Johnson's break beats are so on-point! This song takes me to Heaven...and I'm an atheist.
I wish that last half of the recording would never end,
Me too!
My one and only child was born on August 12th. I love my baby girl
me too!
Salute to you Cliff and your baby girl
2nd half of this song is what I imagine heaven sounds like.
totally agree!
*preach
kendahl24 yah that transition is absolutely amazing.
AGREE. like ...do they know ??
I was just telling my GF that the second half of this song is rapidly climbing my top ten songs of all time.
PSA: August 12th and Friday Morning will intersect this year.
Th is is how khraungbin started the Newport jazz fest 2021, tears coming down my face. Just in years of waiting to see this band when this song came out...then covid happen.. Had to wait three more years.. Seeing them open with this song was epic
Same, was there. It's just devastatingly gorgeous. I fought the tears back so hard.
2:58 - so i can just keep replying this beauty
This is song tells a story : the approach, the first meeting, the doubts, the first night and the love ecstasy feeling -- your heart in the clouds, that cat so soft. It has captured what love metaphysically is or what being crazy in love with somebody is. Especially the last part. It is the internal chemistry of falling in love which is embodied in this song. This is so true that you fall in love when you listen to the song -- at least with it. This is such a beautiful piece of music. I haven't heard something that deep and beautiful for ages. Now this band forces me to believe that music rises again. Anyone born on August 12 has such a beautiful birthday gift here.
Lovely comment here, really ;-)
This song is about the birth process. @03:00 the mother holds the child for the first time..and the baby goes quite
In Thai, the word 'เครื่อง' (khruang) means 'machine' or 'device' and the word 'บิน' (bin) means 'to fly.' Put them together and you get the Thai word for "airplane" or literally, "flying machine."
Nowhere in their description do they explain that 'khruangbin' = 'airplane.' And, the literal or "loan" translation that they have provided, in this instance, does not convey true meaning (not knocking the band). Therefore, I saw the opportunity to expand the topic even further by providing the figurative translation.
I wasn't trying to be a know-it-all. I was just really happy and surprised to discover a band that has a Thai name and I wanted to provide the figurative definition and deconstruction of the word for anyone interested in language.

thank you!
True story
@@amadta1798 thats so intriguing. Thank you for sharing!
That’s so cool! I was wondering..
if all the people on earth listen to the 2nd half of this song at the same time, I am pretty sure that at least while those 3 minutes, there would be no crime possibly happening. most gentle, pleasing sound I have ever listened to. beautiful.
August 12 2036. The heat death of the universe. August 12 2036. The heat death of the universe. August 12 2036. The heat death of the universe.
they tell a story with musical notes that no other musician will probably ever be able to emanate during this lifetime 😌 thank you so much khruangbin for your exquisite unique message!
I feel so blessed to have found this band, their take on psych-rock or "thai-funk" is heavenly. They don't even have a vocalist and their music says so much-what a trip!
I am Japanese. When I first heard this song, I thought it was very Japanese. It is similar to Japanese enka and folk songs. This song makes me feel very nostalgic for Japan. It wouldn't feel out of place even if it was played in a Japanese bar.
August 12 Friday morning 2022 anyone?
Happy August 12th, I am quitting smoking today and this will be my go to song when I have a craving
Habe an einem 12 August meine Liebe gefunden. Ich möcht diesen Tag immer feiern, egal wie unsere Geschichte ausgehen wird . Es bleibt immer für mich der schönste Jahrestag ⭐❤️
is it just me, or does anyone else get a bit choked up listening to this song?
for some reason, I find this song particularly heartbreaking.
heartbreaking in the beauty of life & death kind of way.
Just as fast as we get to live our lives,
and love our friends & families,
they're gone, and then we're gone;
but all the love remains.
Khruangbin, I'll forever love you for saving my tired old soul✨💛✨
I can feel there's a lot of different emotions going on in the second half of this song. For me there's some melancholy feels, followed by uplifting feels, then feels of determination/motivation. Guitar chords are a beautiful thing, man
I get your point.. For me that song is either of : "Friday Morning" or even more to that point..."A calf born in winter"
That damn song just reaches inside me and squeezes my soul a lil bit making sure I'm still alive in there...
I can't stop listening to it.
Wait till you see it live... it's hard not to shed a tear
@@gryphongoldco.1175 I've been fortunate to have seen/heard it live.. I caught their show in Boise at the Olympic with my best friend/service dog who passed this year, August 12 will always tear me up reminding me of my sweet, gentle, and loving boy, Shadow💙keeping warm in each others hearts until we meet again
@@gryphongoldco.1175 I had a lump in my throat and damp eyes the 1st 3-4 times I played it and I had no idea why that particular composition hit me that way but it was undeniable....
This band... Jeeses.. lol
Man, this song is like a nice beautiful stroll into some
*E M O T I O N S*
Listening to this song on August 12, 2023 ❤
Happy August Twelve everyone! At least this day in 2020 has some positivity to it
Yes!!!
Hello today,! so nice to have people ritually listening to this fixed-date songs
My birthday!
Happy aug 12 to you too
Dang... I'm a little late to the party
Fashionably i hope
Wow, they're using the sound of cicadas! For me that's the sound of being carefree - hanging out all day in the park by the creek during summer break; no school no worries. ❤️
Between Khruangbin and Explosions in the Sky, Austin, Texas has got the ethereal instrumentals locked down!
Xcept Khruang Bin is from Houston..... close tho.. ;-) .
I was today years old when I noticed the very quiet cicada track laid into the background from mid-track on. It's nearing the end of summer and I initially thought I left the window open
Idk why, but the second half of this song has a Grateful Dead vibe. Groovy and peaceful.🌻🌈 Hearing Santana in there as well. It's music like this that just makes the soul feel lighter. Delicious tune!💜
2nd part :
You can imagine a young couple who met during the summer holidays and who was passionately loved each day.
It is now time to leave, during this beautiful sunset, along the beach.
They look into each other's eyes without saying anything, their arms around each other.
You can almost hear "Thank you for these wonderful holidays, but I love you now, I can't leave you"
The pulse accelerates, the chills arrive and the tears rise. They cry inside them.
Kind of music for a bright sunny weekend
Absolutely mind-boggling. Long live these guys
Happy August 12th everyone ❤️ 2022
The way it begins with birds chirping at sunrise and ends with the cicadas at sunset ….. this song is just too good
My birthday has a soundtrack?! Yes!
listening in NZ, August 12 2023 ❤
Happy august twelve everyone!
This song is pure beauty... it makes me cry. I want to put it on repeat and make endless love...
THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE
honored that my birthday is soundtracked by this!
me too :)
same
@@svb68 Me Three :))
Me too lol
Same
mark plays "both" rhythm and lead without missing a beat here..
If these guys started a cult, I would join. I love the crickets and sounds at the end. It sounds like a summer night, half in the bag, half naked with the sun setting. Love the musicianship here too, and the modular song writing is nice as well...
Any one that is moved by this is a brother or sister of mine!...much love...xx
I’d go
That guitar never gets old
Simply beautiful. It's got so much soul.
If you're listening to this today (August 12, 2021) I salute your good taste!
August 12th is me and my significant others anniversary.❤
same here... 20 years...
Love the sound of this... sounds like the 70's funky smooth
studiofifty4 it doesn’t sound like anything else ever that’s why you love it 😉
@@mrsugar2352 It sounds exactly like 70s/90s soft rock. Just because you never heard it before doesn't mean it's a new thing.
MalachiteR what are you talking about sir? I would hedge my bets I’ve been around longer than you.. I’ve never heard a band with a sound or a groove like this one. It’s quite straight forward. Okay, I’ll make it easier for you list me a few tracks that sound similar?
caprice.t nah not even remotely the same thing.
ruclips.net/video/623whlgVHIY/видео.html
I've never wanted to hug a song or have a song hug me, until...
Loved hearing the cicadas faintly in the background, on the 2nd half of the song. ♥️
Beautiful music that washes over you...
Sounds like pure love
Oh fuuuck i didnt even realise it was aug 12th today im just vibing super hard
Dig the transition in this song
I cried when they played this live on the Worldwide festival in 2019.
i did too. shrooms tho. ;)
Listening this song since one year every day ❤️
Happy August Twelve everyone!
I'm here to celebrate and honour this beautiful song on its due date.
august 12 2036
The thirth part of this this song makes me going into relaxation modus.. love the chords!
A7, flat D with some Clapton/Hendrix influences. I sat and learned this on my strat last night. The song centers around a B mode but uses lots of pentatonic phrasing. Very nicely played by Mark Speer.
Woah I just discovered this band and had them on Autoplay while browsing reddit.. this song sounded extra good so I tabbed over to see what it was called it was today's date, August 12th
that is some mystical shit, almost as mystical as the time I saw this band at electric forest 2 weeks ago, and I was tripping on acid, ate a psilocybin brownie, and took some mda xD I was literally seeing the sounds from the beautiful bass players aura. alien level jedi flips. #fappyhorest
Ryan Morin top work!...had no clue they existed...I do now!...amazing flowing vibe...wish I had heard them under the same circumstances!...xx
Far out bro!

Happy khruangbin day y'all
This is my new favorite song ever. Maggot brain 2.0 imo
2:55 should've been a song by itself. Like melted butter...you sink into the couch...close your eyes and reminisce all of the good times...

Mind is Blown Just found these guys as of April 16 2022 at 12:00 Jesus really loves you yall! This jam has blessed my soul on a very sad day. God is good even when life sucks, Im thankful that He gave me ears to hear such amazing sounds!
Love the second part of this song - it's so soothing.
FYI, I can hear some interference with my headphones - but only in the second part.
i think its supposed to be there and its the sound of all the bugs in the summer time. really soothing to me
2:57 I will play this song the moment our child is born and it will be a moment of love.
Superb love it
Oh god blessed this band for sure
