Our Take
Khruangbin's sophomore album, "The Universe Smiles Upon You," is an auditory journey through space and time that will have you grooving in your seat from start to finish. Drawing inspiration from 60s and 70s Thai funk and soul music, this Texas-based trio has managed to create a truly unique and infectious sound that is guaranteed to transport you to a different dimension. With their dreamy guitar riffs, hypnotic bass lines, and tight drum beats, Khruangbin effortlessly blend together elements of surf rock, psychedelia, and world music to create a sound that is as intoxicating as it is captivating. Tracks like "White Gloves" and "Mr. White" showcase the band's ability to create intricate sonic landscapes that are at once laid-back and groovy. The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix and creating a lush and immersive listening experience. Laura Lee's bass playing is particularly impressive, providing a solid foundation for Mark Speer's intricate guitar work to soar above. Overall, "The Universe Smiles Upon You" is a masterclass in musical craftsmanship and a testament to Khruangbin's ability to blend together different genres and influences to create something truly special. So kick back, relax, and let Khruangbin take you on a cosmic journey unlike any other. Trust us, the universe will be smiling upon you as well.
