Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - Khruangbin’s debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool. The Texan trio is formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums.
‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was recorded at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside where their first rehearsals took place. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favourites were 60s and 70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock and funk. This had a heavy impact on the direction of the band, the scales they used and the inflection of the melodies; which coupled with the spaciousness of the Texan countryside culminated in Khruangbin forming their exotic, individual sound.
“We feel like there is an ease that comes from being immersed in a space, away from the distractions of the city and everyday life. We make our music in a barn, in the Texas hill country, because it makes sense to us. Being there allows us to make music that comes naturally, and that’s what we wanted this album to be. We wanted to make a record that just let the music happen, and we hope that’s what you can hear.”

Twas a warm summer night in the tropical beach town of Sayulitas Mexico. Me and my cousins were in our air bnb. Both my cousins passed out from a long day of partying. I played this song to keep them asleep as I rolled another joint. I then smoked it and worked on a screenplay for a cartoon im working on. Beautiful memory!
Update! I finished the first episode of that screenplay I wrote. Its called Space Plugs if you want see it. Its on TH-cam and instagram.

[@HelpMeFindTheseSongs]

Can anyone identify the sound at 0:41 and again at 2:13? It sounds like a slide whistle. Or is that a guitar? What is it and what's it called?

[@daverumbear7668]

I think its a Theremin. These instruments were used alot for scifi noises and old school scifi soundtracks

[@mikerogers879]

It’s either a lap steel or pedal steel guitar.

[@johnadams4352]
