“Cómo Te Quiero” by Khruangbin

Khruangbin released their new album, Con Todo El Mundo, via Dead Oceans/Night Time Stories. After an entirely sold-out North American tour this spring. The trio headed overseas for performances in Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai, and more, in addition to numerous festivals, including Seoul Jazz Festival, All Points East, We Love Green, Beaches Brew, and Best Kept Secret. And just last week, Mark Spear and Laura Lee cranked out an epic, 8-hour edition of their AirKhruang DJ series, spinning tunes inspired by their travels around the globe.

This week, Khruangbin released a video for “Como Te Quiero”, the track which closes out Side A of their album. “The video is about Laura Lee’s Mexican-American grandfather, Joseph Guillermo Ochoa, to whom ‘Con Todo El Mundo’ is dedicated. He’s the person who gave Laura Lee her vivid imagination, who taught her how playful the world can be,” says Sanam Petri, the video’s Creative Director. “In the last days of his life, he saw visions, as if he was in a different dimension. Laura Lee always wondered what the world looked like in those last days, what was happening behind his eyes. We made the video to take the viewer on that last journey with him, back through his mind one last time. One last great adventure of a grandfather and granddaughter. The animation style is taken from the covers of Mexican matchboxes which, as a dedicated smoker, we think Joseph himself would’ve appreciated.”

Formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums, Khruangbin will support Leon Bridges on a massive tour of North America this fall. They’ve also announced a slew of U.S. headline dates to close out the year, including shows in Oakland, LA, San Diego, Portland, Columbus, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and more.
