Khruangbin

The song’s title comes from philosopher Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of the “third space,” a place in which different cultures coexist and meld into hybrids. Khruangbin performed this track live in the KEXP studio in April 2018. Watch the full session here: youtu.be

Did that Arc De Soleil tune remind you of Khruangbin? -- The song title is Spanish for “ball,” and it’s also the name of a Basque game that’s kind of like racquetball. In a press release, Khruangbin call themselves “a Texan band with a Thai name singing a song in Spanish, loosely based on a Japanese movie.” -- Watch the animated video for "Pelota": www.youtube.com
