Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You. First album by this Texas trio. 2015 I think. Thai-funk ambient echo-chamber psychedelic mood groove lounge music recorded in a barn in Texas.
Just got the CD. Shocker here. NOT OVER COMPRESSED! I can't say what the DR actually is because the CD is not in the DR database yet. Lossless streaming versions are on the database and have excellent DR by today's standards and the CD sounds better than the hi-res streaming version. To me this is refreshing and ground breaking for a new artist to release a CD with a broad DR.
I've mentioned these guys before. It won't be for everybody. I still can't figure out why I like it so much except that it is well recorded and produced. Real sonic ear candy. Just put it on. Crank it up to a pleasant volume and give it a chance while you're doing something else.
I actually like their second and third album better. Can't wait to get those CDs! Happily paying new prices for this.
