Khruangbin

Hot on the heels of ‘Mordechai’, the critically acclaimed third album from US psych-rockers Khruangbin, the Texas trio are set to become the latest act to present their own LateNightTales in the popular, long-running musician-curated album series. Having first come to prominence in 2013 when...

White is 1000...but white with orange 7”vinyl was 250
 
I'm gonna hold-off until I see the price/quantity on VMP's variant. If it's too steep, I might just get a pre-order in with my local for the Indie Orange. Can't do that White LP + 7-inch with those GBP prices & shipping.

Just a comp of songs created by a band. Sort of like a “Khruangbin is influenced by all this!” sort of thing. People go crazy over them, but I just kind of view it as an artists Spotify playlist pressed on wax. The infatuation is a little weird 🤷

I'm a big fan so I guess that makes me one of the weird ones 😂 . They are mostly great mixes and end up being some of my most spun albums. Back when people could come over and hang out, we always tossed a LNT comp on because it's always a great mix of music and there's pretty much something for everyone on a lot of the mixes. The BBNG one is particularly great and there are a ton of other ones. Sure--I could play it on streaming, but you can say that for anything really...

I always find myself putting on a LNT comp when I'm not sure what I am in the mood to listen to. Most of them have a lot of care put into how the tracks flow from one song to another. I like seeing what influences all these bands and hearing the cover they chose to do.

I'm also not swayed by the 7-inch all that much since I rarely spin them. (even though the collector in me is like, "collect it! future value!")

There are actually quite a few LNT comps on streaming that don't have the actual full tracklist, I guess for rights/clearance reasons.

Admittedly I haven’t spent much time with the them. I own the Floating Points and don’t care for it much, there are some great songs but they’re mixed in with the ambient sounds of metal legged chairs being drug across a cafeteria floor.

I don't have experience with previous LNT comps, but your explanation about throwing them on with company struck with me in how I learned about Khruangbin. For the last three years, Khruangbin has been my friends' go-to hangout/background music and it always turns people on to their stuff. On top of the fact that Khruangbin is influenced by a lot of great world music, this should be pretty great. I will probably pick up this as my first LNT comp.

Yeah I'm another weirdly infatuated person, I suppose. I love them! And this is a good description...they're my "having company over" go-to records.

Though I am kinda tired of the white pressings, which seems to be LNT's M.O. for their own limited editions.
