Since hearing about Khruangbin they have been in regular rotation. The trio from Texas' funky sound always hits the spot no matter what mood I'm in. Lately they've been choice at easing into a day at work or winding down late at night so I can sleep.
"Maria También" is super funky and a great showcase of their soulful mix of Asian inspired funk, surf, and soundtrack-esque textures. There is both a lot going on and a simplicity of the groove. If you haven't checked them out just pick a track, you won't be disappointed.

Following his graduation in 2001 Danny returned home and continued his career as a recording and touring bassist, most notably working with former STP singer Scott Weiland.
