kizanski 14,589 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just my favorite present-day group covering one of my all-time favorite songs, that's all. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
velorush 5,553 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I had never heard of them until you posted a pic of Laura Lee (some bass thread a few months back). I've really enjoyed their music. Thanks. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crunchee 5,298 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This video of their version of Christmas Time Is Here has been posted on the HFC before, I think last year around this time or the year before that. Very cool, IMO! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BadgerDave 2,282 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 It's an OK song, but why did they leave the click track in the final mix? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JGravelin 1,495 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Shades of Eddie Hazel and Ry Cooder over cool down-tempo groove. Nice. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drew816 317 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I came here for drummer comments and I get "click track!" Disappointed... Khruangbin - Maria También (Live on KEXP) Great stuff! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drew816 317 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Man, Khrungabin are great. I'm really impressed. The House, World, Cool, French-Thai-Surf-Mood thing is really impressive. There's a lot more going on here than you first think, Laura is a great bass player, the interactions and balance between her and Mark are spot on and DJ the Drummer I think actually sets the time on the Atomic Clock. Some of the tunes are more mood and background, some of them have a lot hop. And watching Mark play, I'm not even sure what the heck he's up too; so smooth and skilled. Do you know Thievery Corporation? Kind of reminds me of them, though TC are ever changing, kind of the DC Funk/World/House mafia with tons of alumna and various styles and Mark from Khrungabin is a whole different level of guitarist; IMHO. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Menehune 279 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks for reminding me of them Kiz. Khruangbin were in my streaming rotation for background work music, but I switched to chillhop because their tunes were too interesting. I recall an interview in which Mark and Laura were asked about their wigs, which Mark at least said were hot and smelly. He said something along the lines of the wig being a great disguise, as he could take it off and go check on the merch table without getting mobbed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
