KHUN NARIN - III LP

Label: Innovative Leisure

Khun Narin's Electric Phin Band are a multi-generational psychedelic powerhouse from rural Thailand whose ecstatic, amplifier-blown folk music has quietly become one of the most unlikely global cult phenomena of the last decade. Hailing from Phetchabun Province, the group formed as a community celebration band _ playing weddings, temple fairs, ordinations and village parades. At the center of their sound is the electrified phin, a traditional three-stringed Thai lute whose piercing, spiraling melodies cut through walls of percussion and portable PA distortion.

Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band return with their first new album in a decade — and their first ever recorded inside a professional studio. Produced by Tommy Brenneck (known for his work with Amy Winehouse, Charles Bradley, Sharon Jones, Beyoncé, Mark Ronson, and The Budos Band) at Diamond West, the album captures the band with a depth and clarity never heard before — without sacrificing the ecstatic propulsion that defines them. The group does not simply perform songs; they create momentum.
