KHRUANGBIN STUDIO ALBUMS
The Universe Smiles Upon You (2015)
Released November 6, 2015
The Universe Smiles Upon You is the debut album by Khruangbin, a Texas-based trio known for their eclectic blend of Thai funk, surf rock, and soul influences. Released through Night Time Stories, the album serves as a tribute to 1960s and 1970s Thai funk while showcasing the band’s ability to craft dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes. Its distinctive sound, driven by a fusion of global music styles, quickly garnered the band critical acclaim and a devoted following.
The album was recorded in a barn in Burton, Texas, which the band retrofitted into a studio to capture their laid-back, organic sound. Laura Lee’s bass, Mark Speer’s guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson’s drums form the core of the album. The record is largely instrumental, with sparse vocals that add texture rather than dominate the mix.
Track Listing:
- “Mr. White”

Released by Dead Oceans and Night Time Stories, the album draws inspiration from musical traditions including Thai funk, Persian music, and soul. The title translates to “With All the World,” a nod to bassist Laura Lee’s family history and the global ethos that defines the band’s music.
The album was recorded in the same Burton, Texas, barn associated with the band’s debut. Tracks such as “Maria También” and “Lady and Man” showcase the band’s ability to create complex, atmospheric compositions with minimalist arrangements.

Recorded in the band’s familiar Texas studio environment, Mordechai blends funk, soul, dub, and Middle Eastern influences.

The album marked a return to the core trio after a period that included several major collaborations.
The album was produced by Mark Speer and Steve Christensen and performed by Khruangbin. Laura Lee’s bass lines, Speer’s guitar work, and DJ Johnson’s grooves create the restrained and hypnotic character heard throughout songs such as “A Love International,” “May Ninth,” and “Pon Pón.”
