Khruangbin with Peter Cat Recording Co.
Their live show has been hailed as "hypnotic", and they earned the title of "trouble-shunning, sun-worshipping vibemasters" from NME.
"Khruangbin craft atmosphere music that never fades into the background, like some endless curl of smoke that keeps pluming upward."- Pitchfork
"This is a record not only rich in beautiful psychedelic colour, by extension, it celebrates international culture and unity." - The Line of Best Fit
Transitional and esoteric in sound, Khruangbin is built from a wide range of influences, from 1960's funk scene in Thailand, Persian rock music, and 1980's Algerian symphonia, with a dash of disco, soul, and Balearic music. Australian audiences have patiently waited their turn to experience Khruangbin's wild, Thai-funk-inspired surf rock and now they'll finally get the chance to hear these new critically acclaimed jams the way they were supposed to be heard: loud and in person.
~~~~~~~~
Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Houston, Texas, formed in 2009 with Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar and Donald Johnson on drums. Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - Khruangbin is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool. By the summer of 2019, the trio had been on tour for nearly three-and-a-half years, playing to audiences across North and South America, Europe, and southeast Asia behind its acclaimed albums The Universe Smiles Upon You, Con Todo El Mundo, and Mordechai. Garnering glowing praise from The New York Times, W Magazine, Billboard, The Los Angeles Times, The FADER, Khruangbin released their very first remix album, Mordechai Remixes, on Dead Oceans, in association with Night Time Stories, Ltd in 2021. Each remixer on Mordechai Remixes has a musical or cosmic connection to Khruangbin and remixers included Kadhja Bonet, Ginger Root, Knxwledge, Natasha Diggs, Soul Clap, Quantic, Felix Dickinson, Ron Trent, Mang Dynasty, Harvey Sutherland. Khruangbin worked with Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter Leon Bridges, from Ft. Worth, for two groundbreaking collaborative EPs, Texas Sun & Texas Moon. Further extending the lone star state's sonic possibilities, the sister EPs pensively examines Texas' musical perception, while paying homage to the marriage of country and R&B that's become synonymous with the region.

If you ever find yourself in Burton, Texas -- population 359 -- you may hear some strange sounds coming from a particularly remote barn.The sounds are those of Khruangbin, a psychedelic trio who draw inspiration from the deepest depths of music history: mixing 1960's funk scene in Thailand, 1970's Persian rock music, and 1980's Algerian symphonia with a dash of disco, soul, and balearic music.Though the band's inspiration comes from all around the world, their roots are distinctly Texan. Ever since their first rehearsals, Khruangbin have recorded at their remote Burton barn, their spiritual home. Which means their stage performance was honed not playing to hipsters in venues, but to cows out to pasture.After developing a fan base of the barnyard variety, they decided to find out if humans would enjoy their music too. Since then, they've found their audiences just as diverse as the music itself -- selling out headline shows in the US, UK and Europe, supporting acts like Father John Misty and Massive Attack, and late last year, signing on to be Corona's official brand sound.They've found fans all over the world, from Iggy Pop to Haley Joel Osment to Lee Hyori, Korea's biggest pop star, and play festivals as diverse as Glastonbury to Electric Forest to the upcoming Wonderfruit in Thailand.

About Peter Cat Recording Co.
Formed in New Delhi around 2010 by Suryakant Sawhney, Peter Cat Recording Co. is a group that's mutated over time, shedding members and accruing more, always evolving musically with each album: from gypsy jazz to psychedelic cabaret; ballroom waltzes to epic space disco; bossa supernova to uneasy listening.
The story of Peter Cat Recording Co. has unfolded across multiple continents, a cast of creators and perhaps more than anything, an unwavering vision to be that band from India that will challenge just what music from the region can be. In expanding their listener base to North America, Europe and more, they have succeeded in broadening their audience and reformatting expectations, all while acting as an incubator of sorts for a rich palette of solo projects, a distinct visual language, and perhaps more than anything, a canonical reference point to both Indian and international fans alike: there is tremendous value in persistence and not pandering to the expectations of others.
