Khruangbin is a three-piece band that has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of funk, soul, and world music. Their sound is both mysterious and mesmerizing, transporting listeners to a different time and place. With their intricate guitar riffs, groovy basslines, and hypnotic drum beats, Khruangbin is a band that is not to be missed.

​

After touring with Bonobo, Khruangbin's song "Calf Born in Winter" was included on his 2013 Late Night Tales compilation. The song became one of the most popular tracks on the record, helping create an initial audience for the band's first EP, History of Flight, and debut album, The Universe Smiles Upon You, in 2015. The 2015 debut draws from the history of Thai music in the 1960s, specifically from luk thung. 

​

Shortly thereafter, Khruangbin were named The Guardian's "New Band of the Week," opening for acts like Father John Misty, Tycho, Chicano Batman, and Massive Attack. They also joined the festival circuit, playing a string of festivals like Lockn, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, ACL, Outside Lands, Desert Daze, and South by Southwest.

​

In 2017, the band covered "Ma Beham Nemiresim" by Googoosh, a popular Iranian singer, for the Philia: Artists Rise Against Islamophobia compilation, and created a Tehran-specific playlist on Spotify, in addition to many other city-specific playlists, as part of their AirKhruang DJ series.

​

The tour motivated the two of them to make music together more seriously, leading them to form Khruangbin. Speer and Ochoa went to a barn where they developed the bass-heavy, psychedelic sound that became the basis of the band's aesthetic. Upon their return, they asked Johnson to join the band as drummer, to play simple break-beats under the guitar and bass. The barn, located in the 300-person town of Burton, Texas, would become the site of all future Khruangbin recording sessions. The band has a long-term working relationship with Houston-based engineer Steve Christensen.
