Houston’s Khruangbin arrived fully formed with this 2015 debut, drawing from Thai funk, soul, and global groove traditions that most Western bands had barely acknowledged. Laura Lee’s bass lines anchor a sound the trio built largely in a Texas barn, and that isolated, unhurried quality comes through in every track.

Khruangbin’s first album is simply amazing. The groove rhythm of the bass perfectly melds with the guitar textured melodies as they are surrounded by a melodic drum beat that takes you to journey into another world. Each song is a distinction of it’s own, from the Soul rhythm of “Mr. White” to the Thai funk inspired “Dern Kala” to the the surf rock of “Zionsville”. It’s a musical masterpiece to experience.
