When it comes to that B-movie vibe, they’re unbeatable—I can’t help but be blown away by the attention to detail, like how they’ve even included the “moo” sounds of cows found in local recordings of Thai mor lam and luk thung… Inata is so cool, YIN YIN (I wonder if it’s pronounced “Jin-jin”). From the album cover art to the music itself, this is quite the character. I guess what’s missing from those stylish Kruang Bin tracks is that Asian humidity clinging to the groove—if you let your guard down, it’ll occasionally bring a tear to your eye… Perfect for bars or parties with friends. Every track is great. Not Latin “sabor,” but Asian “depth”? (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
