Khruangbin.Listen to ‘People Never Change’ below.The new album is set to capture the group’s personal evolution, which has expanded since marriages and children.“BETA is a collection of stories about the future told 50 years in the past, to make sense of the present, on our only home, planet Earth,” said the band in a press release.‘BETA’ was just one of five album titles that could have been selected for the project. They wrote down all five, put them in a hat, and let drummer Karan Singh’s six-month-old son reach in and pick.A post shared by Peter Cat Recording Co.
(@petercatrecordingco)According to press notes, the album is a “whimsical amalgamation of indie, bossa nova, jazz, psychedelic, and more”.Later this year, the group will perform a string of dates across the UK and Europe with Khruangbin, including three shows at London’s Eventim Apollo. You can check out the full list of dates here and purchase tickets here.Their own headline shows will begin in August in the US, before headline London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on November 26.
You can purchase tickets to that show here.NME spoke to Peter Cat Recording Co. back in 2018, writing that the group “look like an indie band but sound like Dean Martin”.“I just want people to have something really important happen,” said Suryakant Sawhney of their perception of fan expectations.
“I don’t really care if they enjoy it. I want them to feel all the emotions.“I don’t necessarily want them to come to the show and have a great fucking time drinking.
I want them to change from, like, having a great dancing to be, like, ‘Oh, wow, this song is depressing me’. Right afterwards, you know? I like that.”
