Driving anywhere in Texas can cost you half a day, easy. For example, itâll take you over four hours just to get from R&B singer Leon Bridgesâ hometown of Fort Worth down to Houston, where the psychedelic wanderers in Khruangbin hail from. The state is vast, crisscrossed with rugged expanses of road flanked by limestone cliffs and granite mountains, forests of pine and mesquite, miles of desert or acres of sprawling grassland, all depending on what part youâre in. And itâs all baking under the Texas Sun that lends its name to Bridges and Khruangbinâs new collaborative EP. âBig sky country, thatâs what they call Texas,â Khruangbin bassist Laura Lee says. âThe horizon line goes all the way from one side to another without interruption. Thereâs something really comforting about that.â On Texas Sun, these two members of the stateâs musical vanguard meet up somewhere in the middle of that scene, in the mythical nexus of Texasâ past, present, and futureâa dreamy badlands where genres blur as seamlessly as the terrain. It calls equally to the cowboys boot- scooting at Billy Bobâs in Fort Worth, the chopped-and-screwed hip-hop fans rattling slabs on the southside of Houston, the art-school kids dropping acid in Austin, the cross-cultural progeny who grew up on listening to both mariachi and post-hardcore out on the Mexican borders of El Paso. All of these things, overlapping in a multicolored melange, purple hues as vivid and unpredictable as one of the stateâs rightfully celebrated sunsets. A journey through homesick reminiscences, backseat romances, and late-night contemplations, the kind of record made for listening with the windows down and the road humming softly beneath you. Like the highways that inspired it, Texas Sun is guaranteed to get you where youâre goingâespecially if youâre in no particular hurry to get there.
