Remember playing chromatic scales in high school.

You people need to stop listening to this on the elevator loudspeaker - it comes together pretty solidly if you listen to that bass.
Kinda tedious, Musaky to me.

Muzak should be so lucky.
To me this is only a notch above muzak.

Honestly, this sounds as if one of the speakers is out (it isn't) and only half the tracks are coming through. Feels like there need to be two or three more layers of sound to make this interesting, With the bass part so prominent, the execution is too simplistic and pedestrian to be interesting. A swing and a miss for me.
Khruangbin is one of the things that got me through the pandemic in reasonably good shape.
I kinda like this band. My eldest son plays them a lot but I'm still trying to find the right mood!
Can ya dig it? I can dig it!

Groovy. I tuned in to the main mix today to add new stuff to my favorites and this track did not disappoint (and made the faves with one listen).
A drum machine, a bass loop and a guitar noodle walk into a bar ...

For me, it was an abrupt ending that cut short before the song was over. Maybe just a glitch in the matrix. 🤨
edit: and a fade-out at the end ? Amazing. That's just not done anymore on new music.

I applaud your musical knowledge. Khruangbin does not use samples though. I agree that on especially the Brazilian original there is similarity. But all in all I would not consider this as a cover of the previous. Maybe they took a theme from the original. Things like the flow, tempo, build up, rhythm and especially the bass are very different.
Thanks.
I know very little (don't know about scales or musical notes or vocabulary, see my inadequate use of sample) it just felt that this one bit from the Khruangbin tune sounded much like my memory of the other songs. I like their tune and was just intrigued, not trying to call them out on anything. I agree it's no cover. Thanks for taking the time to check it out and replying, at least I didn't have a hallucination :)

Very nice.
Not trying to partake in the who copied whom debate, but this sounds very much like a song by Baden Powell and Vinicius de Moraes, called Berimbau, which was covered by a French jazzman in 1966.
I couldn't find any information on what had been sampled but knew I'd heard it before, so this might save you the effort.
Nice take on this tune.
If interested, the French cover, and the Brazilian original.

Laura ain't no top notch beauty but she is very talented and super sexy.
One of my new favorite bands thanks to RP. After hearing it here, I went iTunes shopping and downloaded a couple albums. (RP should get a commission! I never would have found this anywhere else.)
So if y'all didn't know, these cats have a cult following that's been well earned. They have a great coming together story too. Check out some of their older stuff. Always a good groove in the background of get-togethers. -Peace 〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜♫♪ヾ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)ノ♪
Not sure why I enjoy this so much, it is so basic yet compelling somehow too; do dig the bass line.
I just picked this up on colored vinyl -- it's a really fine chill. Glad to see RP adding more new stuff!
Great tone
Kinda tedious, Musaky to me.
Oooh, new stuff! Noice 
Gorgeous... Locked into my radar, looking forward to hearing more from them.

Driving along the coast at sunset, the sand is being blown in the air by the wind and the sea spray and this song came on and now I’m in heaven.

C'est bon ça !

I like it. Kinda trippy surf rock?

This track has an awesome groove. You could've told me it was released in 1974 and I would have believed you.
