About

- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -

The Universe Smiles Upon You is the dreamy, soulful and groovy jam of an album that introduced the cosmic magic of Khruangbin to the world. Made up of Laura Lee (bass and vocals), Mark Speer (guitar, percussion and vocals) and Donald Johnson (drums) - this trio’s wondrous blend of 1960s Luk thung (Thai funk) alongside 1970s surf and psychedelic rock first came into prominence with their acclaimed 2015 debut LP on Night Time Stories.

Grounded as much in the wide-open plains of Texas as it is in the neon bustle of Thailand, this record is a vivid and serene flourish that’s ideal for long car rides or hillside hikes. Buoyed by mesmerising standouts such as "Two Fish and an Elephant" and “Dern Kala”, The Universe Smiles Upon You is a seamless and distinctive listen from start to finish. — The Analog Vault
