In Profile: Khraungbin
Khruangbin closes out their Live album collection with a recording at one of the most celebrated venues on earth, the Sydney Opera House.
The Houston based 3-piece has been making waves since their debut album A Calf Born In Winter (2015). With a sound unlike any other, their influence ranges from different regions of the world. A main influence being Thai-funk, the name Khruangbin meaning airplane in Thai. The band has been gathering dedicated fans and critical acclaim over a decade of hard work and touring with some of the biggest names. Now as they round out 2023, Khruangbin has released some of the finest live LPs of the year.
Khruangbin’s series of live LPs traces just one small slice of the band’s flight plan through the years: it’s a taste of some of their most beloved cities, stages and nights. Each release comes with a limited-edition unique album cover exclusive for the recording’s home turf, just a little something extra for the fans that bring a little something extra. Across five releases, this series ignites both sides of Khruangbin’s magic: the warm, prismatic feeling of their albums and the bewitching energy of their performances.
Closing out this collection, Live at Sydney Opera House is a double LP of front-to-back Khruangbin. Here, career-spanning songs like “A Calf Born in Winter”, “Maria También”, “So We Won’t Forget”, “Shida”and “Friday Morning” arrive in their full interplanetary glory, recorded at one of the most celebrated venues on earth, the Sydney Opera House.
