Khruangbin - White Gloves


Monday and it's time for the annual Way Out West week again.

I did my first Way out West festival 2008, the 2nd year it was running and since then I have been in Slottsskogen, Gothenburg for almost two weeks. Nowadays it is an absolutely wonderful time in the park, fantastic colleagues, people around the organization, sponsors, exhibitors and restaurangs, you basically know everyone there and the job goes incredibly smoothly, during the year we have worked out all the shortcomings and done most very simple, almost like a dance during a balmy summer evening.



So this week we are going to play some music of the artist that plays on the festival this year. Then we sum it up next week for a couple of days of bands that I have discover and perhaps a story or two. Enjoy!



KHRUANGBIN is a three-piece band from Texas, formed of 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. Beginning of last year, KHRUANGBIN released their second album Con Todo El Mundo to widespread critical acclaim. The album title answers the question on how to love – “with the whole world”. Kind of fitting for a band that channels the beauty of the world in their music.

KHRUANGBIN will perform at Way Out West on Friday 9th at Linné 21:15

Today's tune "White Gloves" is taken from the album "The Universe Smiles Upon You", released November 6, 2015. The Video made is a Relix Studio Sessions, 9/9/16, enjoy!
