ConEnuing their world music pedigree, the band has expanded their global influences on this record From Thai Funk to sounds oF Spain and the Middle East, parEcularly Iran, From the 1960’s, 1970’s and beyond. Formed oF Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums, Khruangbin’s sounds have historically been rooted in the deepest waters oF world music. Their 2015 debut album, The Universe Smiles Upon You, was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s Thai casse^es inFused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. This unusual mix created a powerFul, hypnoEc signature sound that’s entranced listeners around the world. Their second album, Con Todo El Mundo, takes its name not From a grand global idea, but From a simple one. It’s in part dedicated to bassist Laura Lee’s Mexican-American grandFather, who was a big influence on her liFe. She says, "My grandpa would always ask me 'Como me quieres?' (how much do you love me?) And he'd only ever accept one response: 'Con todo el mundo' (with all the world). He created his own world to live in. Khruangbin is the world we’ve created.” Since the release oF The Universe Smiles Upon You, Khruangbin have spent the past two years playing non-stop worldwide. The band’s live history ranges From a European tour with Father John Misty to supporng Tycho on a US tour, a string oF FesEval dates including Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, ACL, Outside Lands, Desert Dazed, SXSW as well as extended headline excursions. In a nod to their travels, Laura and Mark have been presenEng a weekly “AirKhruang” DJ set live each Friday on their Facebook page, where the pair play a selecEon oF music by arEsts From a parEcular city. They also hold a monthly NTS radio show called “Cabin Pressure”. The music video For the album's first single, “Maria Tambien,” tells the story oF Iranian women prior to the revoluEon oF 1979, celebraEng their creaEvity, Freedom and ability to express themselves, and showing a side oF women in the Middle East that oYen isn't seen in the Western world. The women in the video are all part oF a large network oF arEsts, singers, dancers and songwriters who have been either exiled or silenced since the revoluEon. With their new video, Khruangbin hopes to bring these remarkable women back into the spotlight and honor the arEstry oF silenced women everywhere.
