The Universe Smiles Upon You ii
Dead Oceans 383C1 – 2 LPs on limited “NATURAL” (white) vinyl

If you could go back in time ten years, what would you want totell yourself? This was a question Khruangbin posed tothemselves when approaching the ten-year anniversary of theirdebut album, the once cult classic, now genre-defining workThe Universe Smiles Upon You.If we could go back and tell ourselves how much was going tohappen to us after that record, what would we want tocelebrate? asked Laura Lee, bassist, vocalist, and founding
member of the band. Instead, they thought: Lets do it again.The Universe Smiles Upon You ii was recorded on January 4-6,2025, in the same family barn of guitarist Mark Speer, across thesame dates where TUSUY was first conceived ten years earlier.Though the conditions were the samedirt floor, brutally cold,minimal sound isolation, all takes livethe songs arent. Theyre
re-approached, some changed more than others, harnessingthe lightning-in-a-bottle energy of TUSUY while discoveringwhat would be unique this time around, in this stage of thebands life.The result moves like ripples on the water across tenhypnotizing tracks, the barn creating a sense of spaciousness,serenity and creative freedom, nearby wildlife (listen out for thebirds on August Twelve ii), rattles and creaks of the barn andall. Its a tapestry of small movements in nuanced arrangements,slowly revealing the new life, stories and character of someoneyouve met again for the first time in ten years
