Khruangbin – Mordechai Remixes

In the summer of 2020, soul, Thai funk, psychedelic and surf rockers Khruangbin released their fourth studio album "Mordechai", influenced by the sound of Pakistani, Korean and West African music. The record reached number eight in the charts in Germany and number seven in the UK.

With "Mordechai Remixes", the trio from Texas 2021 releases a, the name gives it away, remix album, for which all ten tracks of "Mordechai" served as a template. Only the order does not correspond to the original.

"We write our music to be interpreted; this is another wonderful interpretation of music. There is something very vulnerable about letting others work on your music. But by corresponding with different artists, we've gained a greater connection to the songs themselves," the band said.

For the remix of their songs Khruangbin have asked some friendly DJs, musicians and producers. They include Kadhja Bonet, Knxwledge, Soul Clap, Harvey Sutherland, Mang Dynasty and Bill Brewster, one half of the DJ duo Mang Dynasty. He also wrote the lyrics for the inner sleeve and says of the album, "Some of these remixes were made specifically for you to dance your ass off to while you dive to the Khruangbin sound, while some might be better enjoyed horizontally with headphones on and wearing fashionably loose clothing. The choice is yours."

So the result is a versatile and danceable record that ranges from dance to disco to dub: "Mordechai Remixes".
