The Universe Smiles Upon You is the debut album from Khruangbin, a record that introduced the band’s unmistakable blend of global influences, laid-back grooves, and hypnotic minimalism. Drawing from Thai funk, dub, surf rock, soul, and psychedelia, the album unfolds with a calm confidence, favouring atmosphere and feel over flash.

Built around Laura Lee’s fluid basslines, Mark Speer’s reverb-drenched guitar work, and Donald “DJ” Johnson’s restrained, pocket-perfect drumming, The Universe Smiles Upon You feels both deeply transportive and warmly intimate. Mostly instrumental, the record invites listeners to drift through its textures, creating a sense of place that is at once nostalgic, cinematic, and timeless.
