Our Take

Khruangbin's The Universe Smiles Upon You brings a breath of fresh air to the music scene with its unique blend of Thai funk, surf rock, and psychedelia. The band's name translates to "airplane" in Thai, and their music truly takes you on a journey through space and time.

From the opening track "Mr. White" to the dreamy "Two Fish and an Elephant," this album is a sonic adventure that will have you swaying and grooving from start to finish. Laura Lee's funky bass lines, Mark Speer's mesmerizing guitar riffs, and Donald "DJ" Johnson's tight drumming all come together in perfect harmony to create a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshing.

Fans of bands like Khruangbin will not be disappointed by this album, as it showcases their signature sound while also exploring new sonic territories. The Universe Smiles Upon You is the perfect soundtrack for lazy days by the pool, road trips through the desert, or late nights spent staring at the stars.

So sit back, relax, and let Khruangbin take you on a musical journey through the cosmos. The Universe Smiles Upon You is a must-listen for anyone looking to escape the mundane and enter a world of groovy, mind-bending sounds. Let the music wash over you and transport you to a place where the universe truly does smile upon you.
