The trio's first single 'A Calf Born In Winter' was released in May 2014 by Late Night Tales offshoot Night Time Stories, and saw support from DJs Zane Lowe, Cerys Matthews, Tom Ravenscroft, Gideon Coe and magazines as musically diverse as Test Pressing, For Folks Sake, i-D, The 405 and Ransom Note. 'The Infamous Bill' is an expanded offering of Khruangbin's exotic, individual sound. The EP's four tracks were recorded at their spritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside where Khruangbin's first rehearsals took place. Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - Khruangbin literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - the EP is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool.
Mark and DJ's roots are in R&B, hip hop and gospel having played within the same gospel band for years. Both professional musicians, Mark began teaching Laura how to play bass in the summer of 2009. As such, Laura quickly developed a huge passion for the instrument and the aesthetic it brought to music she loved. Having worked studiously on developing her skills, both Mark and Laura were invited to tour with Ninja Tune's YPPAH supporting Bonobo across his 2010 American tour. The tour galvanised the two of them to start making music together more seriously, sowing the first seeds of Khruangbin, with DJ the natural go to for drums. Having kept in touch, Bonobo included Khruangbin's 'A Calf Born In Winter' on his 2013 'Late Night Tales' compilation. In addition to increasing the Stateside following the band has built, the release has helped Khruangbin in topping both the US & UK 'Last FM' fastest growing artists whilst 'A Calf Born In Winter' continues to be one of the most popular single downloads from the compilation.

Texas Sun
Khruangbin Lyrics
You say you like the wind blowing through your hair
Come on, roll with me 'til the sun goes down
Texas sun
Say you wanna hit the highway while the engine roars
Well, come on, roll with me 'til the sun goes down
That Texas sun, oh yeah
That Texas sun
Caressing you from Fort Worth to Amarillo
Come on, roll with me 'til the sun dips low
That Texas sun
That Texas sun, oh girl
That Texas sun
When I'm far from home and them cold winds blow
Stuck out somewhere with folks I don't know
'Cause you keep me and nice and you keep me warm
Wanna feel you on me, can't wait to get back there again
That Texas sun
That Texas sun
That Texas sun, oh
That Texas sun
You say you like the wind blowing through your hair
Well, come on, roll with me 'til the sun goes down
That Texas sun
That Texas sun
Ooh baby, you're so gorgeous
How about you and me take a lil' trip
In the big body?
Take a ride with me, babe
You by my side
How does it sound?
You and I
Oh, girl
Take a ride with me, babe
You by my side
How does it sound?
You and I
Baby, oh
Take a ride with me, babe
You by my side
How does it sound?
You and I

I just moved to Texas last Monday because I got a job offer. I’ve been unemployed since 3/17/2020 and here I am sitting in Fort Worth with my cat outside listening to the bugs making noise and this song. So many emotions I’m feeling right now.
