Khruangbin and Leon Bridges' new collaborative EP, Texas Moon, is out now on Dead Oceans, in partnership with Columbia Records and Night Time Stories.
An extension of the two’s chart-topping four-song Texas Sun journey, Texas Moon is an introspective stroll through the dark. “Without joy, there can be no real perspective on sorrow,” says Khruangbin. “Without sunlight, all this rain keeps things from growing. How can you have the sun without the moon?”
Crediting their mutual home state for inspiration, Texas Moon pensively examines Texas’ musical perception, while paying homage to the marriage of country and R&B that’s become synonymous with the lone star state. Propelled by rolling guitar licks, conga and bongo, lead single “B-Side” meditates on meeting in a dream and frolics across the nearing contemplative nighttime state with its longing’s joy.
Elsewhere on Texas Moon, the artists channel a newly intimate musical scope that’s illustrated most dramatically when the spacy sensuality of the minimalistic “Chocolate Hills” leads into the stark spirituality addressed on “Father Father,” a reminder of both acts’ gospel roots. Over a simple rolling guitar figure, Bridges pleads with the heavens-“Look at the mess that I made/Just a man with unclean hands”-only to be reminded of God’s eternal love.
For Khruangbin, one song in particular was indicative of the trust that Bridges put in them. “The song ‘Doris’ is about his grandmother making the transition from this world to the next realm,” says Johnson. “It’s a very somber, very deep record. And when someone places that kind of work into your hands, the last thing you want to do is junk it up, overproduce it, or do too much. We treated it with the respect it deserved, and treated Doris with the respect she deserves.”
“It’s like a short story...,” Lee says of the music. “And it leaves room to continue having these stories together. It’s not Khruangbin, it’s not Leon, it’s this world we created together.”
Upon its release, Texas Sun soared to the No. 1 slot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart along with landing the No.1 on spot on “Americana/Folk Albums,” No. 2 on “Vinyl Albums,” No. 4 on “Top Rock Albums” and No. 6 on “Top R&B Albums.” Significantly, both parties’ musical directions were deeply affected by their time working together on Texas Sun.
Khruangbin’s most recent studio album, Mordechai, moved their own vocals to the forefront, a change they readily admit was a direct result of working with Bridges. Their sound was also tapped for remix/reinterpretation of a Paul McCartney song for the McCartney III Imagined project. Meanwhile, in addition to his genre-defying Grammy-nominated album Gold-Digger’s Sound, Bridges has put out several other challenging, shared collaborative tracks, including work with John Mayer, Lucky Daye and most recently Jazmine Sullivan. Each of the artists appeared recently on Austin City Limits and will tour throughout the new year.

my grandmother’s name is Doris. she passed away 11.16.2020. she lived in new orleans. so much of this song felt like it was written for her memory. (at least all of those named Doris) Leon’s music alongside with the vibration of Khruangbin embodies all of the feels. chills. this whole EP is lush.
For real tho! My g ma's named Doris too. Bronx born and raised, but would snowbird down in Florida. She passed from covid at 97 years young. From all the grandmother's up in heaven, manifested by this melodic music, they are all saying to their children down on Earth that The Universe Smiles Upon You! ✨
All honor to our indigenous Doris of the greater americas😘
Doris is also my grandmother's first name. She came from the Congo to Belgium 🖤
This song is TOUGH. that guitar is ethereal
Such a gorgeous and intimate song. Leon truly embodies the 70’s crooner vibes, and Khruangbin flawlessly captures the sound with a contemporary twist. Quality music
God bless her, Amen!
Track of year. Fight me.
As we speak, my mother Doris, is in a hospice center transitioning to see the Lord. My cousin sent me this song. So beautiful 🤍.
You realize how much blood pressure this lowers? You guys are saving people.
LP came in the mail today! Khruangbin is on the "buy everything they put out" list.

Texas Moon came out the day that my Grandad became ill. My first listen was in the car on the way to the hospital. I remember thinking that this album was exactly what I needed but never really listened to 'Doris' much. My wonderful Grandad passed on Saturday just gone and RUclips randomly played this for me on Sunday. I am so grateful and blessed 🙏❤
Oh my gosh...just discovered your music! So beautiful, hauntingly original and I've fallen in love with music again. Mind you I'm 68 y.o. and had kind of given up on finding artists that are as eclectic and talented as this group is! THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU!1😀
Never give up...

Yo tambien ese
You won't believe, my friends, but under this song, I encountered war in my country, Ukraine. It has been a year since the war started, and during this time, my daughter was born. Soon we will defeat the Russian invaders, and I rediscovered this track. Thank you for bringing peace and tranquility to my soul. Thank you for the vibes, thank you for this music that has always been with me during the most challenging and the best moments of my life. Peace.
I heard this today of WRAS Atlanta. Nice moody mellow vibe on this one.
If it was not for going to Leon bridges concert I would have never fall in love with this group
They’re better on their own even
