Oui, c'est saoulant sur la durée... Sans doute moins en direct. Mais ça montre que les gens aiment encore les solos à rallonge et l'impro quand l'ensemble est « bien » présenté... Et un luth qui sonne comme une Strat, c'est rigolo
Khun Narin’s follow-up album, “II,” arrived on March 25th. It’s more polished than its predecessor, with a track list twice as long. When compared with Khruangbin’s sound, the music on Khun Narin’s album marches more than it moseys—the rhythms on songs like “Phom Rak Mueang Thai” retain the steadfast forward momentum that spurs morning street parades in the band’s small northeast village. Khun Narin’s success is atypical: within the group’s own village, it is essentially a beloved, highly-sought-after wedding band, meant to enliven public and religious ceremonies.

If Khruangbin has a natural counterpoint, it’s Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band. In 2013, a Los Angeles producer named Josh Marcy came across YouTube footage of the bandleader Khun Narin and a dozen village musicians leading jostling processions through the Thai jungle, powered by generators and shoddily stacked speaker systems. Marcy boarded a plane to Thailand to field-record what would be released as Khun Narin’s 2014 self-titled début, maintaining the band’s lax P.A. setup and improvisational nature. Despite deftly covering “Zombie,” by the Cranberries, in one clip, the musicians had no secret stash of Dead tapes to draw from: their attraction to fuzzy electric guitar is indebted to the phin, a pear-shaped lute from the Isan region of Thailand (the instrument eventually went electric). The band performs what’s known as phin prajuk_,_ or “modern phin,” which was developed parallel to psychedelic rock, but not exactly derived from it.Khun Narin’s follow-up album, “II,” arrived on March 25th.
