Khruangbin: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
May 16, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- It was daylight but the music was dark and moody. And despite having the office lights turned on high, it was Khruangbin's trance-inducing tone that set the mood and carried me away.
This trio from Houston, Texas is heavily inspired by 1960s and '70s funk and soul from, of all places, Thailand. That musical passion has taken them on a journey that, these days, incorporates music from Spain, Ethiopia and the Middle East. Khruangbin's largely instrumental music is grounded in Laura Lee's bass, with Mark Speer playing those melodic, richly reverbed guitar sounds and Donald "DJ" Johnson on drums and piano.
Two of the three songs performed at this Tiny Desk Concert are from their 2018 album Con Todo El Mundo, which is dedicated in part to Laura Lee's Mexican-American grandfather. He'd often ask her how much she loved him and the response that pleased him most was when she would say, "con todo el mundo," (with all the world.)
The third track in this performance is one of the band's first forays into vocals, from their 2015 debut album, The Universe Smiles Upon You. "White Gloves" gently pays homage to a "classy lady" who was "a fighter" and who "died in a fight." Its open-ended lyrics could imply a battle that was violent or an illness. It isn't clear. What is clear is the reverence in the song and in this music - music that strays from typical instrumental songs with heavy beats. This is music to sway to and to lift you beyond the day to day.
SET LIST
"Maria También"
"August 10"
"White Gloves"

What a beautiful Strat that is too, really a pleasure to see it played so well, they are one. Its so great how this 11 minutes 32 seconds of time and space is here, saved in eternity for us to enjoy, and still be hit by years later. those few minutes have me captivated, what a soul massage.

The drummer is DJ Johnson, and in case you didn't already know this, time, as a fundamental operating law of the universe was created along with the entirety of existence itself, merely as a means to have something to explain his impeccable timing.
This band lives in a place I like to call "in the pocket." It's the sound cool makes when it goes by.

Little know fact about the percussionist, Donald Ray "DJ" Johnson Jr: "DJ" is short for "Drumming Jedi". After the terrible purge of the Jedis and the fall of the republic, DJ hid on Tatooine, abandoning his light saber for a set of drums and a gig at Mos Eisley's Cantina. The guitarist and bass player are his padwan, being trained in the ways of the force.

Don't you guys pass on the guitarist. He is godly fast, and on the pedal syncing it all. If you ever used to play, tried learning how to play guitar, or just looked into starting, you would know he is insanely good at it. Also cheers for swinging the tunes from West to middle-east just like that. That's very cool imho. Khruangbin is on a different level altogether!

Yes He does . When I first watched him play ,I would have bet money that he guitar sounds we were hearing were coming from another guitar playing with him , beside the Bass He makes it look effortless as does Mark knopfler. They both play by pickin strings like a Banjo Player would IMO. You can see many differentfingers stroking the strings , if you watch closely . Amazing
Everything about the bass player blows my mind, from her look, to the skill, the look to the drummer to remain in sync and the smile when they nail it, wow.

@@atj22 That's awesome! Same here. I first discovered them when I came across their tiny desk performance and thought, wow those bass lines jam. I got me a small bass and began learning. Laura Lee was definitely the inspiration why I got a bass and wanted to learn. I was fortunate enough that my mom was finally able to afford guitar lessons when I was 16 but I too didn't have much access to instruments before hand. So, knowing it's possible to still be good at it as an adult is refreshing. Kim Deal is another inspiration. Glad you're enjoying learning bass! 😊

@@naomig.2553 some are just natural if you really “love” it. They are many who want to learn just to learn and put no effort. The one who loves will perfect it and still not feel happy about it. Those who really have a passion for it learn faster. I would say they even have a metronome built in already. For regular people just keeping up with the metronome is difficult. You can be excellent at anything you put your mind to, just gotta put in the hours.
