Khruangbin — Pitchfork Live, 2018

Filmed live session by the Texan trio Khruangbin for Pitchfork Live, recorded in 2018 at Villain studio in Brooklyn, accompanied by Drippy Eye Projections. An emblematic band of an instrumental sound where funk, soul, surf, dub and psychedelic influences from around the world meet, Khruangbin unfolds a set of around fifty minutes in a hypnotic atmosphere. Laura Lee (bass), Mark Speer (guitar) and Donald “DJ” Johnson (drums) run through “Cómo Me Quieres”, “August 10”, “White Gloves”, “Evan Finds the Third Room” and “Maria También”, between hushed grooves and soaring guitars. The capture highlights the trio’s chemistry and the precision of its arrangements, in the intimate format of filmed live sessions. A live concert ideal for discovering Khruangbin before its international breakthrough, and for fans of instrumental funk, groove and hybrid music. A reference session, carefully filmed, to watch and rewatch.
