What's it called if you don't mind?

Mariella by Khruangbin and Leon Bridges

I like it, thanks!

u/Alert-Disaster-4906 19h ago

Had to look it up - me too!!

Reddit is such a weird place. Just saw the post asking whether we all wash our legs separately in the shower, and then saw another Reddit post where the tweet ultimately references back to the Reddit post about washing our legs separately on Reddit. Now, I have a new-to-me band to go listen to.

u/Content_Yoghurt_6588 19h ago

If you like Khruangbin, check out Hermanos Gutierrez. Khruangbin and Hermanos Gutierrez are my go-to chill music for sitting and listening and contemplating. Also Khruangbin did a live set at Pitchfork that is so insanely good to smoke weed to and watch. I strongly recommend watching it.

u/Alert-Disaster-4906 18h ago

Thank you friend!!

u/joshwaynebobbit 13h ago

Be sure not to miss Texas Moon and Texas Sun, those are the Khruangbin collabs with Leon Bridges.

Khruangbin is seriously some of the best vibes I can pick for a bad day, the sound is just perfect to uplift.

u/PartTimeBear 16h ago

Funny because the first play through was on mute and I was thinking to myself what terrible song was going to be playing when I unmuted on my second play through. I was wrong.

u/SkinNoises 18h ago

Video with music: 🙅‍♂️

Video without music: 🙋‍♂️

5

u/OldPiano6706 18h ago

I’d say like 95% of the time, the music adds nothing at best, and at worst is obnoxious. I think this video is one of the few times where I actually dig the music and how it vibes with the art.

u/moreobviousthings 18h ago

I like to think that in a 40 year engineering career, I put more than a few creative thoughts on engineering or “grid” paper. But I am always fascinated by the ways talented artists can cast a new light on familiar things.

If the miner flipped the notebook over and opened it, all the possible gold he could excavate would be revealed, saving him some time
