I was fortunate enough to do an in-person interview with Khruangbin. You can watch that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hK58lseSvprGY3U.html

I play them when I Uber. Have put a lot of folks onto them

I just saw them in Paris. 12/08/2019 at Bataclan. It was their last show of 2019. They rocked so hard that we demanded an Encore and they obliged with 3 songs. At the end we gave them such a warm ovation that Laura teared up. It was the best fucking night of my life. What made it more awesome is that my phone's camera was broken, I was alone as all my friends cancelled because of the transport strike. But it still was one of the best experiences of my life and I'll never forget it. I was too broke to buy beer, didn't smoke any weed for the first time going to a concert. I was completely sober, yet I was fucking transported back to how I felt listening to their music on Acid. Any of you reading this, you have to go to their concerts if you get a chance.

Mark is the realest for teaching Laura bass and basically giving her a new path in life. Very rare.

I've been obsessed with them since I first heard them. Incredible.

it is beautiful when you make a friendship with someone who enables you to flourish. It seems Marks had a specific gift and was able to see that in others, such as his two friends Laura and Donald.

There was such a need for this band in this universe.

she looks like a character out of a Tarantino flick...

Seeing as she was a teacher makes me love them more. Her statement “even though I loved teaching, I hated the job” is so true.

I just adore this band. This is a fine video - I watch everything I can about Kruangbin, and the way they comport themselves during interviews only increases my admiration for them, as they appear to be so warm, generous, without pretentiousness, and just doing a great service in sharing their take on music as a way to bring different cultures together in a better understanding of our common humanity: much needed right now. Plus their music is just so damn good. Thank you for making this video.

mark seems like one of those people who bring the absolute best out of the people that he hangs around. Love it

"This stuff was sooo cold." Yep, he's from Houston.

I remember when I first discovered Kruangbin at the end of a long school day on a Friday, junior year. I had a computer lab class, and I had decided that day I was gonna skip the classwork and do it for homework and just find some music on KZfaq to listen to with my headphones. Just about everything was blocked, except for a song called August 10 by Kruangbin, which I gave a listen. Was so zenned out and relaxed by it I fell asleep right there in class. Went home later and dug the song out of my history. Very worth it.

"Listening to Khruangbin is like traveling back in time to foreign lands." Oh, like Korat, Thailand where I lived for a year in 1967-1968!

I found this band today. What a way to start year 2020.

Khruangbin definitely massages the serotonin. I found them quite accidentally on a piece of old newspaper packing. Being a guitarist for over four decades, and seeing a picture of a dude hugging a strat and a female bassist and a brother playing drums, I was like, I gotta check this out. Khruangbin really touches the inner parts of our primitive mind where Music is amazing and soothing. And this trio are damn good musicians. I've been learning Mark's guitar parts. I'm an old hard rock fusion dude, and I will say this is some challenging, fun, beautiful music. So refreshing. Thank you Khruangbin. The world does shine upon us when your music floats in the air.

"Khruangbin should be on your daily shuffling" -- yeah man, yeah.

Jake, with every video you make you become for me a stronger source of really authentic new music to listen to. Thank you and keep going, you have a good thing going on with these channel and your videos

Mark is indeed a gifted musician. So nice to see this salt of the earth band's beginnings. I hope they achieve whatever they want in life.

It's really awesome to hear how genuine they are and also how actually cheery they are considering they look so deadpan when they play! Laura's smile light's up the universe more than all the stars combined and comes to her face surprisingly easily!!

The Tarantino flavor is so enormous on this band. The most easy listening and skilful sound. Lovely

Jake, your videos are sensational. Thank you for providing vivid stories that keep the viewer intrigued and informed. Cheers!

What a massive discovery they are ~ I’m in desperate need of reasons to keep going these days & this aural brilliance is certainly one for my mental list

This video just made me love them even more. Thank you for the fantastic video. I'm looking forward to hearing the collections on spotify as well.

My brother showed me this band about a year ago. Can't stop listening to them.

Thanks for this great video. I just got introduced to them when Texas Sun popped up randomly on my Spotify. Like you, I cannot get enough of their amazing music :-)

This was a great video! Thanks for preparing and sharing!

Best review of Khruangbin, so far. Thank you so much

I love these guys (and gal), painted the whole interior of my house on their tunes. Going to see them in August in Port Townsend.

Love love LOVE! :) Thanks for sharing your interview with the group @JakeZeeman !

cool interview and video!! Thank you for posting

never met to listen khruangbin untill today but these guys saved my life. it's a cure, it makes me feel alive and i cry almost everytime, thats actually an emotionally repairment. i live in Romania and one day i will listen them live.

So very cool. Thanks for the heads up regarding the Spotify stuff. I'll be checking it out.

good job jake you have covered almost everyone of my favourite bands

Been listening to them for a couple of years. Great for driving or working. A jewel for sure!

Thank you for doing this video. Well done! I just discovered them yesterday and have been obsessed with their sound and funkiness - wigs and all. Love them! Mark sounds like he's playing guitar but with a mad mandolin strum. Amazing! Laura Lee grooves spirited by DJ's beats.

Thank you so much for creating this go to guide. Just discovered these guys during lockdown. But this filled in some gaps. Love em.

This is a fantastic look into what Khruangbin is gifting people of all nations. Excellent work! I didn't want the video to end.

such incredibly fond memories of when i discovered this group ... two days ago

Thank you for the background on such a great band

What a great story, thanks for sharing! Loved hearing the origin story, what a beautiful beginning.

So awesome someone made this about them! Great band.

Love them. So chill and groovy. Nice break from the heavy stuff I listen to all the time

Good stuff !! Glad I found you guys.

Loved the video and your comments.

Very well done nice piece on this very fascinating band. Thanks.

Yeah I can't stop listening and letting people kno about this group

This is an excellent profile of Khrungbin and its members. Thank you for making such an informative and interesting mini-documentary. I love sharing this band with other folks, and then dropping the "they're from Houston, TX" note, glad to have more details on that scoop.

I just saw their show last night in San Antonio at the Tobin and they blew it up!!! Stage presence achieved!

Love Khruangbin! So chill and fun

Great editing and narration man’

bro your vids have inspired me so much. thanks for sharing

Bro your taste in music is almost exactly the same as mine it’s uncanny. Keep making vids you have such an acute ear for good music and I appreciate it endlessly.

Instant followed your playlists ! Thanks

Thanks to you and your friend Jake!

Thanks for the video! This band is wonderful and unique.

Jake your content is amazing! How do you not have more subscribers

Nice little video homie! I agree on all points. Cheers!

Fantastic video, thank you!

I’m so glad this band exists. I’m really happy for them. I’ve only just caught on to them. Laura Lee is genuinely an amazing bassist. So groovy and in the pocket and really interesting bass lines. And it’s sooooo gorgeous to watch her play when she grooves away and sways her hips. Haha! I dig it.

Fantastic video! Thanks so much for this!!! :-)

amazing work!

Thanks. I randomly clicked on this suggestion and now I have a great band to explore. They're sound awesome.

My fav band from 2019. I’ve had them on repeat for ages now. This video is cool as hell.

Go see them live if you ever get the chance, its an unbelievable experience

Thanks man...nicely done. Adore this be band honestly.

Keep up the good work Jake!

I’m blown away. Absolutely fantastic video man. You managed to thoroughly encapsulate a band I love in a small amount of time and extremely eloquently. It was musically insightful and I’m just super impressed with your process and format. Immediate subscribe, and I’m shocked you don’t have more views. I’ll spread the word. Thank you. Suggestion: Vulfpeck (they have a great story and a different sound as well)

I’ve been producing & directing for over 15 years. This crew is the most original to date. Keep up the stellar work.

I was introduced to them a couple of days ago and I'm super thankful! I love them so much because of their songs have this familiar sound that reminds me of my dad. My dad loved traditional thai music and they have a bit of that here and there. It's such a nostalgic sound yet modern. They are literally amazing!

I live in Texas and never heard of this group till now. Thank you, I will be jamming all day during self quarentine.

I really loved this video, thank you

What a nice explanation of the essence of the music. We all love Khruangbin for the simplicity and effectiveness on our mode

Thanks dude! They are awesome!

Excellent video!

Wow, man! Thanks for sharing

Khruangbin is definatly my favorite modern band. First time I heard their sound on the Corona TV add, I fell in love and I rushed to shazam it.I'm a fan since then. Thank you for this exellent review.

great band great music, sounds amazing , excellent job, wish you the best!!!

Wow! Such a organic band! No wonder why they sound so unique. All such a great chemistry accompanied by soothing soothing sounds. I actually first heard of them about 3 months ago through jay Electronica latest album he uses the “A Hymn” beat and when I first heard it I was immediately hooked. Especially in these times you need bands like this ❤️ thanks for this.

Great Documentary! Thank you

Great video, thank you!

Jake, you have my utmost thanks. I'm an old, awkward, ex-drummer (too ill to play) and I have encountered seriously good music. This is the cherry, and the icing, and the spices, and all the dried fruit, for the cake. Thank you.

Very good video, thanks!

Love these videos and so glad I came across this channel. One suggestion: I know you usually say it verbally, but it would be helpful if you had a little visual sign that stated which song of the artist was being played at any given moment. Thank you for making thoughtful, enriching, and well-researched content!

man I found your channel through recommended and I saw you had a khruangbin video and I immediately subscribed.

Randomly came to this youtube - enjoyed the experience. Thanks JZ

Great video buddy. Keep them coming

their new album is such a banger i love it so much!!!! they're such an amazing band! thanks for this!

Khruangbin is my life sound track...listen to them daily...sometimes all day. Nice smooth mellow vibe. Thank you for what you do.

Great job! Thank you

They have made quite an impact on me. Thank you Jake for introducing them accurately and tastefully.

Nice one Jake....thank you

You did man you really did it. They’re finally in video essays 🏄🏾‍♂️💚🚀

Nice work!!!

First and foremost brother, you’re inspiring. I like your videos, whether I like the artists or not, and your curated Spotify playlists is such a thoughtful and warm detail added to the stories you’re weaving together. Well done! I honestly can’t remember if you or my brother put me onto them, but I’m appreciative I’ve found them. I enjoy their music. Though, what resonates with me is Laura Lee’s story. I’m a music teacher, and while I’ve played music all of my life and daydreamed about being a musician, I’ve always struggled with labeling myself as such. I’m in grad school for music and music education and my primary instrument is piano. When I arrived upon my last semester, I realized I didn’t want my time in grad school to go by without learning a secondary instrument, but I realized I missed the deadline to sign up for lessons. So, I bought a bass and taught myself by playing along to C Jam Blues by Duke Ellington. Then, I started playing “She Wants to Move” by N.E.R.D and anything else that tickled my fancy lol. Now, I play mostly to record into a DAW and make music on occasion. My musical background is much like a very rustic pie: rough edges, no precise measurements per se but some technique, but as long as it tastes good and keeps you coming back for more, it doesn’t matter lol. I haven’t always been comfortable with not knowing as much as I ought to about music, but I’m encouraged by Laura to keep on keepin’ on.

This is by far one of the greatest bands I've seen live

I’ve been listening to them pretty much daily for 3 years. I love their story as much as their music. ❤️

The way this band make you feel is why everyone listens to music, truly phenomenal. I am from Scotland and i hope to see them one day 👍

One of the reasons for their appeal, for me, is the absolute QUALITY of the SOUND of their instruments. Very few bands take such care to make such a simple approach sound so clean and deep, starting with the sound of the instruments themselves, especially the drums. They make it look so easy and it's NOT.

Wow, they seem very relaxed and nice guys :-) Love the music too!
