These
past
few
years,
Bridges
and
Khruangbin
—
formed
of
Lee,
guitarist
Mark
Speer,
and
drummer
Donald
“DJ”
Johnson
—
have
seen
little
of
Texas
outside
of
studio
walls.
Both
had
been
touring
nonstop
behind
their
acclaimed
sophomore
LPs
when
their
paths
converged
for
a
joint
North
American
tour
in
2018,
a
run
of
shows
stretching
from
Los
Angeles
to
New
York—much
of
it
buffeted
by
the
kinds
of
cold
winds
Bridges
sings
of
on
“Texas
Sun.”
Their
musical
lanes
were
slightly
different:
Bridges,
steeped
in
the
smooth
sensuality
of
’90s
R&B
and
country’s
emotional
clarity;
Khruangbin,
exploring
the
exotic
wilds
of
global
funk
and
spaced-out
dub.
Still,
they
shared
a
dusty,
laidback
vibe,
and
when
a
Khruangbin
session
yielded
a
song
that
seemed
like
it
might
pair
well
with
Bridges’
voice,
the
band
sent
it
over.
As
Lee
tells
it,
Bridges
returned
the
track
with
his
vocals
the
very
next
day.
They
all
soon
decamped
to
the
studio
with
engineer
Steve
Christensen,
hoping
to
make
it
into
a
B-side.
But
everything
flowed
so
naturally,
it
was
obvious
this
would
be
something
bigger.
