Khruangbin Late Night Tales

Description

Hot on the heels of Mordechai, the critically acclaimed third album from US psych-rockers Khruangbin, the Texas trio are set to become the latest act to present their own LateNightTales in the popular, long-running musician-curated album series.

Having first come to prominence in 2013 when producer and D.J. Bonobo included Khruangbins A Calf Born in Winter in his own collection of songs for the series, the little known Houston trio had yet to release an album, but have since gone on to become international superstars forming their own exotic, individual sound. The LateNightTales series is such a special thing to be a part of because we wouldnt have made it if it wasnt for Bonobos LateNightTales, because thats how we got into the LNT family and got a break.

With a mind-blowing selection of tracks that cross borders and cultures, Khruangbins deep love of global grooves from Asian pop to Nigerian reggae Japanese mellow groove to Latina flavas are steeped in eclecticism; Nazia Hassans Hindi-disco Khushi, produced by British-Indian legend Biddu, South Korean rock band Sanullim who contribute Dont Go, a pair of African bangers from Nigerian Maxwell Udoh and Roha Band, from Ethiopia; a diversion to Belarus for and thence to Madrid for the strident vocal performance of Paloma San Basilio with Contigo before hightailing back to Texas.

The LateNightTales series was established back in 2001 with Fila Brazilia taking to the controls and mixing up the first of what would continue to be the first choice of music connoisseurs worldwide. Since then, the series has seen releases from the likes of The Flaming Lips, Hot Chip, Floating Points, David Holmes, Bonobo, Jon Hopkins, Ryksopp and many more. -On Bandcamp
