Khruangbin
Late Night Tales
A mind-blowing selection of tracks that cross borders and cultures, Khruangbin’s deep love of global grooves – from Asian pop to Nigerian reggae – Japanese mellow groove to Latina flavas.Das Trio aus Houston mit ihrer Ausgabe in dieser Musikliebhaber-Serie. Khruangbins sonnendruchtränkte, lebensbejahende Selektion sprengt Grenzen und Kulturen, ihre Liebe für globale Grooves – von asiatischem Pop bis nigerianischem Reggae – ist durchdrungen von Eklektizismus und Soul. Nazia Hassans Hindi-Disco (produziert vom legendären Biddu) trifft auf die südkoreanische Rockband Sanulim, der Nigerianer Maxwell Udoh auf die Roha Band aus Äthiopien, die belarussische Formation Pesnyary auf Paloma San Brasilio aus Madrid. Khruangbin selbst fügen das obligatorisch-exklusive Cover hinzu, eine brilliante Version von Kool & The Gangs „Summer Madness“. Die beiden befreundeten Houstoner Künstler Tierney Malone (Text) und Geoffrey Muller (Musik) beenden das Set mit einem Spoken Word-Stück, unterlegt mit einer atmosphärischen Banjo-Version von Eric Saties „Gnossienne“. Hinreissend!
Hot on the heels of Mordechai, the critically acclaimed third album from US psych-rockers Khruangbin, the Texas trio become the latest act to present their own Late Night Tales in the popular, long-running musician-curated album series.
With a mind-blowing selection of tracks that cross borders and cultures, Khruangbin’s deep love of global grooves – from Asian pop to Nigerian reggae – Japanese mellow groove to Latina flavas – are steeped in eclecticism; Nazia Hassan’s Hindi-disco Khushi, produced by British-Indian legend Biddu, South Korean rock band Sanullim who contribute Don’t Go, a pair of African bangers from Nigerian Maxwell Udoh and Roha Band, from Ethiopia; a diversion to Belarus for Песняры and thence to Madrid for the strident vocal performance of Paloma San Basilio with Contigo before hightailing back to Texas.
Elsewhere, the Lone Star state reps proudly, with David Marez and Kelly Doyle plus, in the LateNightTales tradition, the band deliver an exclusive, horizontally brilliant version of Kool and The Gang’s Summer Madness, while the mix concludes with a spoken word piece by Tierney Malone, accompanied by fellow Houstonian Geoffrey Muller’s atmospheric banjo rendering of Erik Satie’s Gnossienne.
„It’s cool to think about what you would listen to late at night, as a band together, lighting a spliff, kinda vibe. We definitely wanted to cover as much global territory as possible; so it was the globe and then home. We wanted to show the treasures from our hometown, or people from our hometown that the rest of the world probably doesn’t know. That’s what makes Khruangbin Khruangbin. The stubbornness about being so hometown-centric but what makes Houston is this this constant international influence. That’s that gulf stream, bringing it right into Houston. So I guess that’s kind of the theme.“ –
