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.

The line "Well, it brings back memories" resonates with the nostalgic theme of the conversation and suggests the song takes them back to a cherished time when things were easier and happier.

The mention of Josephine and her always running implies that she was either restless or constantly on the move, while the singer was always swimming, suggesting a sense of freedom or stability in their life. However, the singer couldn't swim as much as they wanted because they had to work, implying a certain duality in their life where they have responsibilities but also long for something more.

The song was stuck in my head

Well, it brings back memories
The song evokes past memories

Have you heard from Josephine?
Do you have any news about Josephine?

She was always running
Josephine was always on the go

And I was always swimming
I wished to swim but was unable to due to work or other issues

I would have loved to swim, but I had to work
I wanted to swim but had to prioritize work instead

Who do you remember?
Who are some of the people you remember?

Isn't this what everyone should do?

What about the hurricane?
What are your thoughts about the hurricane?

When the whole city shut down
During the hurricane, the entire city was affected

Yes, but, my lights were still on
Although the hurricane occurred, my electricity was still functioning

They always were
My lights always worked

I didn't know it at the time
I was unaware of this fact during the hurricane

Time changes everything
Over time, things change

I've lived at least nine lives
I've had numerous experiences in my life

So are you a cat?
Are you like a cat with nine lives?

A tiger, is a kind of cat (Tu nous connaissais de face)
A tiger is a specific type of cat

Have you earned your stripes?
Have you proven yourself worthy?

I like to go where I choose to go (Tu nous connaissais de face)
I prefer to go wherever I desire

So you have?
You're able to go where you wish?

Maybe you do too (Tu nous connaissais de face)
Perhaps you also have the freedom to go wherever you wish

Tu nous connaissais de face
You knew us by our faces

Tu nous connaissais pas par nom
You didn't know us by our names

Conversation lyrics below!

I love listening to the trio speak in interviews, you really wish they were your friends, they are so great! <3. I've been deciphering the conversation between Mark Speer and Laura Lee here. I've gotten most of it down, but obviously it isn't 100% accurate, but please assist me where I may have written mistakes and also where I couldn't transcribe the unintelligible speech.

Beginning of Conversation at 0:20

M: It makes me think of that place

L: I remember,
We used to listen to that song
for days on end

M: I couldn't get it out of my head

L: Oh, well it brings back memories

M: Have you heard from Josephine? (as with the other names, I can't be fully sure)

L: She was always running

M: I was always swimming

L: I would've loved to swim
But I had to work
Who do you remember?

M: I remember John
and Dario

L: He asked me to marry him

M: I'm not surprised

Second Conversation Continuation at 1:21

L: Do you remember Lou? (and again, not sure bout 'Lou' as the name)

M: Well of course, she took care of everything

L: She was very much like my grandfather

M: She knew how.. to enjoy life

L: Shouldn't we all?
What about the hurricane?

M: When the whole city shut down

L: Yes, well, my lights were still on

M: They always were

L: I didn't know it at the time

M: Time. Changes everything (?)

Third Conversation Continuation at 3:17

L: I've lived at least nine lives

M: So, Are you cat?

L: A tiger is a
Kind of cat

M: And have you earned your stripes?

L: I like to go where I choose to go

M: So you have

L: Maybe you do to

PS: I love both Mark and Laura's smooth voices, it's quite the ethereal experience, this song. Ty khruangbin <3

My favorite track off of the whole album for sure and most played. The style of vocals emulating a reflective conversation about life is great. "Time changes everything..." I agree and think this will become a classic song used in film, other media, played at summer gatherings, during spring cleaning, etc for years to come as long as we're still on this ball.

Also having been exposed to Ethiopian music at some point I have to agree with the other comment that Ethiopian jazz is most likely where they were taking their influence on this particular track. Khruangbin is a very worldly outfit vaguely in the realm of neo psych. Definitely appreciate their nod to this type of music and mixing it with French lyrics gave it a further globalized and imo more commercial appeal.

S/o to anyone listening to this song.

on repeat

@lokithor83

when i first heard this song, it was so far away from the previous two albums, it kinda annoyed me and i thought they tanked.. but now i think the interplay between the conversation and the music is just wonderful..

Although it does not have any consequence on the quality of the song, some may be interested in the fact that the french used in the song is not « correct » french. But more probably a litteral translation from english. « Tu nous connaissais de face » could be « Tu nous connaissais de visu » and « tu nous connaissais pas par nom » could be « tu ne nous connaissais pas de nom ».

"Tu nous connaissais de face" is legit French québécois though.

@drinkingpoolwater

i don’t detect a single amount of attraction between the two. i think they are just a tight band. they seem to respect their craft a lot.

Perhaps not stealing but opening a doorway to the beauty of Ethiopian tunes. They don't hold back as a band and claim stuff they actually mention they are influenced by international music. I actually see this as a remarkable praise to Amharic style music.
