Khruangbin – The Universe Smiles Upon You

Khruangbin – The Universe Smiles Upon You (2015)

The debut album from the Texas trio represents a hypnotic fusion of 1960s Thai funk, psychedelic rock, and soulful surf-pop. It’s a mostly instrumental journey that sounds like a sun-soaked afternoon, characterized by Mark Speer’s reverb-drenched guitar and the locked-in rhythm section. It matters as the record that introduced the world to Khruangbin’s unique global aesthetic. Vinyl is the essential format for this record; the warm, spacious production creates an immersive 'vibe' that fills the room, making it the perfect soundtrack for a lazy, coastal day.
