Mordecai,\" their first third album in two years, is now available, with vocals introduced on nearly every song and a bold deepening of the band's sound. Houston-based trio (Laura Lee Ochoa on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald \"DJ\" Johnson on drums) Khruangbin will release their new album, Mordechai, in association with Night Time Stories, on Dead It will be released on June 26, 2020 on Oceans. This is the follow-up to 2018's highly acclaimed Con Todo El Mundo, and the band also released a collaborative EP with Leon Bridges, Texas Sun, earlier this year. The lead single from the album is \"Time (You and I),\" and the video for the song was created by Felix Heyes \u0026amp; Josh R.R. King Khruangbin is always multilingual.The band weaves musical languages far removed from each other - East Asian surf rock, Persian funk, and Jamaican dub - into delicate harmonies. On their third album, \"Mordechai,\" however, vocals are featured on nearly every song. It's a big, risky shift to turn Khruangbin's ecstatic sound directly into an emotional sensation without losing the nomadic wandering spirit, but all of this began when they returned to Texas from touring. Khruangbin has released several albums, including \"The Universe Smiles Upon You and Con Todo El Mundo, along with two acclaimed albums, and continued to tour throughout North and South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia for nearly three and a half years, through the summer of 2019. He then returned to his studio on his farm in Barton, Texas, to begin work on his third album, but slowed it down for a time. During that time, Ochoa went on a hike with a family of strangers led by her father, Mordechai, and was enlightened and reborn.And she wrote a lot of words down in her notebook. When the band began compiling the songs that would make up the album, they turned to Ochoa's notebook, finding a space in each song that only the vocalist could fill. Khruangbin had written lyrics before, on songs like \"Friday Morning\" and \"Como Te Quiero,\" but unlike that time, Ochoa knew that this time he had something to say. And indeed, the words that needed to be said were used in the album. As a result, the words rang out, and the sound was given great depth. And the sound, which seemed to incorporate Pakistani, Korean, and West African music with Indian chanting boxes and Congolese syncopated guitars, was more than that, it was a celebration of the eclectic city that nurtured them, Texas. Country, zydeco, trap rap, avant-garde opera, and more could be heard nightly in this cultural exchange. In the years away from Texas, the members of Khruangbin sometimes felt like they were swimming in water.But with \"Mordechai,\" they can calmly return to the surface, take a breath, look around, and find themselves again. This is like a snapshot taken on a great journey. Because of its impermanence, the moment is beautiful. But the memories come back again and again, and each time they speak to us more vividly than the one before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.First Class\u003cbr\u003e2.Time (You and I)\u003cbr\u003e3.Connaissais de Face\u003cbr\u003e4.Father Bird, Mother Bird\u003cbr\u003e5.If There is No Question\u003cbr\u003e6.Pelota\u003cbr\u003e7.One to Remember\u003cbr\u003e8.Dearest Alfred\u003cbr\u003e9.So We Won't Forget\u003cbr\u003e10.Shida\u003c\/p\u003e\nKhruangbin\" title=\"Khruangbin\"\u0026gt;Khruangbin","brand":"Dead Oceans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49343715311905,"sku":"656605149318","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/656605149318.jpg?v=1718334446","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-us\/products\/656605149318","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
