Khruangbin - Christmas Time Is Here

Christmas Time Is Here is a seasonal single by American funk & soul trio Khruangbin, originally released in November 2018 via Night Time Stories, LateNightTales and Dead Oceans.

Khruangbin are from Houston, Texas and comprise Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Ray "DJ" Johnson Jr. on drums. The band is known for blending global music influences, such as classic soul, dub and psychedelia.

Khruangbin return in 2020 with a reissue of their seasonal single “Christmas Time Is Here” with newly updated sleeve art and on red vinyl for a limited time only, when these are gone these are gone.

"Growing up the three of us all had very different Christmases," says bassist Laura Lee. "But we recently discovered we all had the exact same favourite Christmas song. When we realized it, we sat down to play it and it came together instantly. In 15 minutes we had this recorded. It was like the best Christmas present ever."

With ambling sweetness and a fresh, beat-driven groove, Khruangbin have taken this oft-covered classic and made it wholly their own.

Please note this has the same music as the 2018 release just different (2020 COVID safe) cover image and red coloured vinyl.

This 7” single is a 2020 reissue on red coloured vinyl housed in a picture sleeve, pressed in the US via Night Time Stories.
