This was the first song they wrote as a band, and what a way to start off. August Twelve is one of those few songs that can tell you a story without lyrics, just through taking you on a journey through the smooth transitions in the song. The guitar tones are individually focused, clear and full of magic.
This track is not just to hear, it's a full body experience that will intertwine all the senses.
I first came across this song traveling in my friends car, I was left speechless by it and listened to it over and over again when I returned home.
This song is infectious (the good kind), the groove of this track will leave you hooked looking for more from the band, and August Twelve is a fantastic way to to start your Khruangbin journey.

About The Curator - Ruth Burke
I'm a 23 year old originally from Ireland and now currently live in Liverpool after completing my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in performance. I am not a believer that you can only like one genre of music, if a song speaks to me on another level or I just vibe with it; I'm listening to it.
I'm still trying to find my way around life so patience is my virtue!
I get myself involved in many other events and projects and also help my good friends, Go Off Sis Podcast by curating playlists for their platform.
