{"product_id":"4526180769217","title":"Khruangbin MORDECHAI [SC Campaign 2026 Eligible Product] Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nContents Format: CD Specifications: Jewel Case Texas trio Khruangbin's third album is complete. Their third album in two years, \"Mordechai,\" is released, featuring vocals on almost every track and representing a bold evolution. Houston-based trio (bass Laura Lee Ochoa, guitar Mark Speer, drums Donald �gDJ�h Johnson), Khruangbin, will release their new album \"Mordechai\" on June 26, 2020, on Dead Oceans in collaboration with Night Time Stories. This album follows their critically acclaimed 2018 release \"Con Todo El Mundo,\" and the band also released the collaborative EP \"Texas Sun\" with Leon Bridges earlier this year. The lead single from the album is \"Time (You and I),\" and the video for the song was directed by Felix Heyes \u0026amp; Josh R.R. King. Khruangbin is always multilingual. They weave together disparate musical languages ??such as East Asian surf rock, Persian funk, and Jamaican dub into delicate harmonies. However, on their third album, 'Mordechai', vocals are featured on almost every track. It's a risky but significant change to take Khruangbin's ecstatic sound and direct it towards a more emotional feel without losing their nomadic wandering spirit, but it all began when they returned to Texas from touring. With two critically acclaimed albums, 'The Universe Smiles Upon You' and 'Con Todo El Mundo', Khruangbin toured across America, Europe, and Southeast Asia for nearly three and a half years until the summer of 2019. After that, they returned to their studio on a farm in Burton, Texas, and began working on their third album, but then slowed down for a while. During that time, Ochoa went hiking with a family she didn't know, led by a father named Mordechai, and had an enlightening and reborn experience. She wrote down many words in her notebook. As the band began putting together the songs for the album, they found a space in each track that only vocals could fill, and that's when their attention turned to Ochoa's notes. Khruangbin had previously written lyrics for songs like \"Friday Morning\" and \"C?mo Te Quiero,\" but this time, Ochoa felt he had something to say. And indeed, those words were used in the album. As a result, the sound gained great depth as the words began to resonate. Furthermore, the sound, which blends Pakistani, Korean, and West African music with Indian chanting boxes and Congolese syncopated guitar, became more than just a celebration of Texas, the eclectic city that nurtured them. In this cultural melting pot, country, zydeco, trap rap, avant-garde opera, and more can be heard every night. During the years they spent away from Texas, the members of Khruangbin felt as if they were swimming underwater. However, with 'Mordechai', they were able to return to the surface of the water calmly, take a breath, look around, and find themselves again. This is like a snapshot taken during a great journey. Because of its impermanence, that moment is beautiful. But that memory will resurface again and again, and each time it will speak to us more vividly than before. [TRACKLIST] 01. First Class 02.
