Glastonbury 2016 - The Ones To Watch - T-18 Days: Khruangbin

This three piece from Texas eschew traditional down-home boogie for the esoteric delights of Thai funk and drifting, dream-like grooves, as in the video below.

As you can see, they're not short on talent (or, for 2 out of 3 of them, hair) and when their music find its groove it's a real treat.

Their album 'The Universe Smiles Upon You' was recently released on the Late Night Tales record label, which gives you some idea of the kind of vibe they create. There are a couple of chances to catch them on Sunday this year at Glastonbury - I'll probably see you at the Park first thing in the morning (before drifting over to Four Tet's early morning DJ set in the Stonebridge bar, which will follow this perfectly).

Late Night Tales - DJ Cull

Inspired by the Late Night Tales series of releases, I've made my own selection of tracks for after-hours listening. If you've heard any of the previous ones, you'll know that there are always a couple of 'rules' that the compilers follow, so I've stuck to them as best I can. First off, there's the obligatory cover version, in this instance Zombie Zombie's version of the theme from 'Assault on Precinct 13'. And while I couldn't commission a new spoken-word piece for this, I've included a story / song by Jarvis Cocker at the end that does the job pretty well. To download the mix just right-click on the album cover above - here's the tracklisting:

1. Jarvis Cocker - Loss Adjuster (excerpt)
2. The Czars - Drug
3. Tim Hecker - Sketch 2
4. Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You
5. Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen (Acapella)
6. Clark - The Pining Pt.1
7. Lucky Paul - Thought We Were Alone
8. Radiohead - Paperbag Writer
9. Zombie Zombie - Assault on Precinct 13 Main Theme
10. Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds
11. Deaf Center - New Beginning (Tidal Darkness)
12. Perfume Genius - Hood
13. Gold Panda - Marriage (Forest Swords 1am Hotel Room Redraw)
14. The Teardrop Explodes - Tiny Children
15. Jimmy Rosso - Ripped
16. Gonjasufi - Nikels and Dimes
17. Woods & Amps For Christ - From Oatmeal to Buttermilk
18. Pink Floyd - A Pillow of Winds
19. Rollo Jean - St. Tropez
20. Dominik Eulberg - Metamorphose 
21. Jarvis Cocker - Loss Adjuster

The mix has got some new tracks and some older stuff, some well-known and some less so. Hopefully there's something to keep you interested - let me know what you think!
