Khruangbin

My theory has to do with the increasing legalization of weed in the past few years...

I found them from the Tiny Desk Concerts - which I clicked on because YouTube wanted me to listen to Superorganism:

If you type "*band drawn from Ilxor subconsious*" into Dall-e Mini you get Superorganism. They're a smudged, nightmarish evocation of Ilxor's subconscious. Hip, but too hip. Quirky, but too quirky. Young, but too young. They are the band that would appear if you gave an alien sculptor a description of Stereolab.

Khruangbin's Tiny Desk Concert has eleven million views, which is something. They sound like the kind of music the Youtube sidebar features - dusty 1970s psych-folk-rock crate finds. Watching the concert again again I'm nostalgia for the days of "the cat album", the "man running along a road" album, the "jazz pianist who started in his thirties" album, the "naked woman sitting on a big stuffed alpaca" album, Music for Nine Post Cards, "Plastic Love" etc.

I find it weird that this band would draw heat. They are cool and stylish and have a fun sound. They're nice to listen to and a bit limited in range. They don't seem extremely consequential to me, and they don't seem like they are treated as some kind of music-changing force by anyone.

It came out last Summer but loving Σtella's v Khruangbinesque album 'Up And Away' produced by Redinho.

Really enjoyed the album with Vieux Farka Toure, feel like these guys are at their best collaborating with others.
