Psychedelic rock

Khruangbin is a Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Googoosh, Kadhja Bonet, Ali Farka Touré, Mohammed Rafi and Yppah.

They run in the same orbit as Glass Beams, Yin Yin, Adrian Quesada, The Parcels and El Michels Affair, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Toro y Moi, Men I Trust, The Suffers, Vieux Farka Touré and Leon Bridges, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
