Khruangbin
Band Formed 2004
Khruangbin formed in 2004. Khruangbin has 44 chart appearances on 32 radio countdowns from 16 stations on RockLists, spanning 2018–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Time (You and I)”, which appears on 11 lists with a best position of #8. The station that charted Khruangbin most often is The Colorado Sound (Fort Collins–Denver, CO), with 9 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2024.
Khruangbin take their name from the Thai word for airplane, and the Houston trio's music travels accordingly: Thai rock, Iranian pop and dub folded into American soul, rock and psychedelia, all played with the unhurried cool of a band that knows the groove will wait for them. Laura Lee Ochoa plays bass and sings, Mark Speer plays guitar and sings, and Donald "DJ" Johnson handles drums and keyboards and adds his voice as well.
On Con todo el mundo, in 2018, "Maria Tambien" flicks its surf-guitar lines over a bassline that barely breaks a sweat. Mordechai, in 2020, brought "Time (You and I)", which slides into a disco-tinged strut. A LA SALA, in 2024 on Dead Oceans, kept the lights low and the tempos easy, and "A Love International" and "Pon Pon" drifted onto the countdowns.
The recognition caught up that year too, with a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, a funny honor for a band that had been playing together since 2004.
