Texas Sun Ep

Description

Driving anywhere in Texas can cost you half a day, easy. For example, it’ll take you over four hours just to get from R&B singerLeon Bridges’hometown of Fort Worth down to Houston, where the psychedelic wanderers inKhruangbinhail 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 you’re in. And it’s all baking under theTexas Sunthat lends its name to Bridges andKhruangbin’snew collaborative EP. “Big sky country, that’s what they call Texas,”Khruangbinbassist Laura Lee says. “The horizon line goes all the way from one side to another without interruption. There’s something really comforting about that.” OnTexas Sun, these two members of the state’s musical vanguard meet up somewhere in the middle of that scene, in the mythical nexus of Texas’ past, present, and future a dreamy badlands where genres blur as seamlessly as the terrain.
