Description
Hot on the heels of Mordechai, the critically acclaimed third album from US psych-rockers Khruangbin, the Texas trio become the latest act to present their own Late Night Tales in the popular, long-running musician-curated album series. With a mind-blowing selection of tracks that cross borders and cultures, Khruangbins deep love of global grooves from Asian pop to Nigerian reggae Japanese mellow groove to Latina flavas are steeped in eclecticism; Nazia Hassans Hindi-disco Khushi, produced by British-Indian legend Biddu, South Korean rock band Sanullim who contribute Dont Go, a pair of African bangers from Nigerian Maxwell Udoh and Roha Band, from Ethiopia; a diversion to Belarus for and thence to Madrid for the strident vocal performance of Paloma San Basilio with Contigo before hightailing back to Texas. Elsewhere, the Lone Star state reps proudly, with David Marez and Kelly Doyle plus, in the LateNightTales tradition, the band deliver an exclusive, horizontally brilliant version of Kool and The Gangs Summer Madness, while the mix concludes with a spoken word piece by Tierney Malone, accompanied by fellow Houstonian Geoffrey Mullers atmospheric banjo rendering of Erik Saties Gnossienne.
