Khruangbin & Leon Bridges “B-Side”

Khruangbin and Leon Bridges are very good on their own but complement each other perfectly in collaboration, as though they’re completing an aesthetic circuit. Khruangbin are extraordinary mimics and conjure an Afrobeat sound so expertly that “B-Side” could pass as a lost Fela instrumental, but while they play it straight within that musical template Bridges veers closer to American soul. This is only a minor deviation but is enough to open up the sound to feel more like the center of a Venn diagram where Afrobeat, disco, and Curtis Mayfield could overlap.
