Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You II (White Vinyl)

• Available December 5th, 2025.

Khruangbin have re-recorded their beloved debut album, once a cult classic, now to be known as The Universe Smiles Upon You ii. The recording reinvents the familiar songs, bringing the band's masterful live show and a decade of touring the world to this genre-defining work.

If you could go back in time ten years, what would you want to tell yourself? This was a question Khruangbin posed to themselves when approaching the ten-year anniversary of their debut album. The Universe Smiles Upon You ii was recorded on January 4-6, 2025, in the same family barn of guitarist Mark Speer, across the same dates where TUSUY was first conceived ten years earlier. Though the conditions were the same - dirt floor, brutally cold, minimal sound isolation, all takes live - the songs aren't. They're re-approached, some changed more than others, harnessing the lightning-in-a-bottle energy of TUSUY while discovering what would be unique this time around, in this stage of the band's life.

Limited Edition TRANSPARENT WHITE vinyl produced by Dead Oceans in 2025.
