This is Ali G's best interview to date!
Laura Lee is a legit bass player. Her bass lines dont seem complicated but they are brilliant
I love how Mark, literally after the first question, answers, “ya I found inspiration by getting as far away from ableton as possible!” … at the ableton sponsored event 🤣🤣❤️
The interviewer made it seem like a job interview , come on man its Khruanbin loosen up , roll one up

do you think he drums in those boots? :P
"Less is more" So many have a hard time reaching what I call the plateau of creativity. Simplicity. Which to me means anything but "easy." It's much tougher for an artist or maker to deliver excellence with fewest components. DJ absolutely has a tight percussion sound and doesn't ever appear to go off timing. He's very good imo.

Taken from the comments of kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIuArMeqfLPMg7g.html :-D - This drummer has such a good sense of time that he probably doesn't find christopher nolan movies confusing. - I heard this drummer got lost in the wilderness with no phone or watch and when they found him 3 years later he knew what second it was. - The drummer once threw a chair in J. K. Simmon's face. DJ controls probably every MIDI master clock :-D
These three are phenomenal. I hope I get to see them perform someday.

Take a chill pill....
Can she get more adorable???
I can literally listen to these 3 poeple all day..they are so fun to listen to and music they play makes your brain cool down if you are angry or something.. their music is soothing
I love how down-to-Earth these people are.. just grown ups who have decided to do something they love very well, no need for stupid hype, no need for stupid noise.. just what they love and respect and who they feel like being. I don’t typically like music without lyrics, but in their case I prefer when music doesn’t have lyrics.. it’s magical, it’s psychedelic, it’s khruanghbin..
I just caught myself smiling so hard throughout the whole interview
this guy is a master of guitar, i dont know what you’d call it, mastery comes to mind, but its that heart is firmly in the center, not to ignore the amazing talents of the other two

I love this band so much!! Laura Lee has been my inspiration to learn how to play bass guitar. She makes it look so good! ❤ There is a special connection between each of the band mates, and they produce such perfect sounds together 😊
really needed this today. Thank you.
i just love this band they have helped me so much in the pandemic they have an amazing structure within theselves they honestly have kept my sanity in these really hard times
One of the best focused and laid back interviews from the band. They already made their great album Con Todo El Mondo, but it was at the start of the exhausting tour.
I just love them. This was a good interview. My theories were confirmed.
Good interview. Lots of awesome info. Thanks.
The drummer as always zoned out into eternity. but jokes apart khru is a great band
An unusually fascinating interview with one of the best bands around at this time.
Khruangbin, great band, great tunes and great vibes... God bless you all.
Mesmerizing sound!! Seeing them Toronto 2024........can hardly wait!
Excellent interview. I simply can't learn enough about them and what makes them so unique. Thank you for these insights.

The interviewer is not very smooth or polished in the way he speaks, BUT, unlike most other interviews with Khruangbin, this guy covers typically uncovered ground. Great questions.
You are everything
3 phenomenal musicians…Mark is a genius on that guitar, I love the technique he uses with his expression pedal going through his El Capistan delay causing it to loop over and over whilst controlling the decay of the loop, it sounds incredible
They really talk❤❤❤
i just noticed that guitar player has the same hand gesture - like they are holding a pick all the time even if they dont - or griping the neck 1:51
I love them, found them out on Bandcamp back in 2018 and been hooked ever since. Didn't know they used Ableton! Makes me want to use it more now 😅 also Laura Lee is my boo 😂

Lol I was this many years old when I found that out too...only because I bothered to take a closer look to that weird sheen on their "hair". I'm like, "oh yeah of course..it's a (good) gimmick - like the Ramones" a whole package.

I know what you mean - Having *real* hair in that style shows 'commitment to the cause' (like Phil Oakey) or 'skin in the game' .. but however much they discuss their holistic music philosophy.. this is 'show biz', and I don't think we can deny that Laura chooses to turn on the female charm on stage with the choice of some of her outfits - and her moves. The wigs make them more interesting. I was more disturbed when I learned that Seasick Steve released a Disco album in the past

This interviewer keeps on implying there's something missing or something needs to be added. Bro, the trio thing has worked fantastically on its own. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Rush, The Police, Green Day, Ben Folds Five, etc. It works!

I never thought I would like another band as much as Led Zeppelin but god damn

Groove -melody-rhythm look similar to music from Northeast of THAILAND. I like to hear they give some credit to the THAILAND country. Band name is mean "aeroplane" in THAI language.

I would have loved to I Trevor’s them . Make them feel part of and express themselves even more interviewer needed to be more part of the Convert Instead of just asking questions . Good question . Need more feel and connection .
Didn’t play drums much? Man he’s an AMAZING drummer.
Did we miss it, or are we just not asking about the hair tho?

Except for the very energetic drummer
I saw them 3 days ago , I was 2 feet from the stage I'm not going to fully explain this but when I looked up into their eyes as they stood right in front of me ( they both looked at me at seperate times for like 3 seconds we locked eyes ) those eyes were NOT alive , not in a human way. I'm completely serious . I think the interview is normal and they are normal but that's not humans playing up there.
If you listen to one of their songs, any song, and don't like it, we will never ever be friends. NEVER!
Guitarist wearing a wig?
Really bad interviewer....great answers. He was so awkward and unnatural
the interviewer is so sterile ...
And the reward for the most boring and slowest interviewer of all time goes to…. (drumroll)….
