The first time i heard Khruangbin was on a Late Night Tales mix. I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I had been there for a year, and had to move back to the US. I put on my headphones and went for one last motorcycle ride through the city, I had never ridden with headphones on before. "A Calf Born in Winter" came on, I joined the flow of constant scooter traffic and took in the beauty of that vibrant, vibrating city one last time, and I cried. It was purely coincidence that it was that song, by a band who's name means "Engine Fly" in Thai, and who were heavily influenced by Thai funk, was my soundtrack for that final ride. I'll never forget it, one of the most bittersweet moments of my life. This band is really something special.

Good to hear you had some great times in Thailand. By the way, Khruang-bin, word by word , does mean engine-fly like you mentioned. But to clarify it, it actually means airplane. Sort of like butterfly doesn't mean flying butter. PS. That is one of my favourite songs as well.

that drummer and his grooves, spot on bands are only as good as their drummer.....the ability/maturity to simplify and fit the song is the greatest struggle for most musicians, especially for drummers and soloing instruments the more you master an instrument the less notes you have to play, the space between sound becomes its own instrument that accomplishes more than playing thousand of notes fast as you can great band

[@samhardingham5591]

all 3 of them have that down pretty well

[@GidsterBMX]

Couldn't be more spot on about the mastering an instrument and playing less notes! Especially for guitar. If you love Khruangbin, check out Skinshape. Similar vibe but just one guy who records it all!

[@Rayan-zt7kl]

I’m gonna have to disagree with that last statement. Mastering an instrument does not mean you play less notes, it’s more picking and choosing when and when not to play that is mastery. In respect to guitar players, Di Meola, Holdsworth, John Mclaughlin, Rosenwinkle, and even modern players like Andre Nieri and Wes Hauch play A LOT of notes and they are certainly masters. All that is matters is that it sounds good, too many times I see people looking down upon playing fast because it has no “feel” or just because they can not do it. If you play fast and it sounds good then keep doing it, and if you play something slow and it sounds good that’s awesome too, but don’t call the person who plays less a master if they don’t have the technique to player at higher speeds. Side note though, I think all 3 of them are fantastic musicians and I love their music. They all have great phrasing and technique.
