Khruangbin blends global music, classic soul, dub and psychedelia to concoct their signature sounds, and today Laura Lee (bass), Mark Speer (guitar), and Donald Ray "DJ" Johnson Jr. (drums) stopped by to chat about their influences, their creative process, and close things out with a live performance of their song "August 10."

People who don't play drums or understand drumming diss him cause he's not rockin' hard. His whole thing is that he plays suuuuuuuper tight and low volume. Literally his style, and it's really cool. Not every drummer needs to play like every other drummer out there.

@kawayanldn9324 2 жыл бұрын

If Khruangbin had a typical rock drummer you’d find it difficult to differentiate them from other band in this genre. Drummers like this is unheard of in these type of bands and that is what make your head bounce listening to such a chilled out sound.

nailed it. I don't think it's easy to do what they do, either. No voc, just a 3-piece and a sound you haven't heard anywhere else, and the concert just goes past so quick. That's hard to do. Also, although the guitarist says its not a guitar-centred band, he's so critically important to keeping it musical and interesting. And technically, he's class, as far as I can tell.

The fact Speer pulls from (an almost lost style) of Thai funk that was (ironically) influenced by 60's San Fran psyche, plus reggae and dub, and perhaps a bit of that Dick Dale surf (or even surf-psyche), Ethiopian guitar (harp), as well as the soul classics like Ernie Isley and Hendrix is really a masterful blend, not to mention a cultural mindfuck. From an engineering perspective, considering they work in all their double-tracking live, I think Speer's level of understanding reverb and feedback is actually fairly underrated for how short of a time he's been on the scene. I'm sure I'm not the only one that when they first heard Khruangbin thought it was mostly produced after the fact in studio. Seeing it live gives a much better appreciation. With this being said, I can see how some would assume the music is a bit 'unfinished' in comparison to a band like Skinshape, for example. It's just a cool, lower vibe.

The root is the note that gives its name and the tonality of the chord. Ex: the note A is the root of A minor chord, or A major chord, etc. It applies the same with scale, i believe it’s called the tonic (but i’m not sure if it’s named like that in english). The tonic of A minor pentatonic is the note A.

Yes! Excellent timing. I just discovered Khruangbin, and they're all I've been playing lately. Great stuff.

Just once, I would love to see them perform where DJ wears one of those wigs while Mark and Laura wear skin-tone skull caps. 🙃🥰

Nailed the Isley Bros.guitar tone. If you like this check out Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee and Blacktop Project.

This trio is amazing. Laura has a groove that just melts into the songs pocket! And that bass is gorgeous! Great video!

Game changer. I don't play an instrument but it's fascinating both to hear more about their influences and that they record live in the studio, no multi-tracks. Khruangbin are one of the bands I'm mostly looking forward to seeing live again.

Yesterday, a friend introduced me to Khruangbing and I listened to their music all day long and went to bed with their tunes. Best start into this new year ever. I needed these vibes so badly. Healing energy.

Everything I've found of theirs on KZfaq is so classy, so accomplished and so interesting. Maria Tambien was my gateway drug but now I'm hooked on their work. Hope to catch them when they come to the UK.

I've struggled to find contemporary acts that I enjoy listening to as much as artists from the 60's-90's but these guys are the real deal!!!! Excited to see what they'll make in the future.
