I stumbled upon The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers by YĪN YĪN this year. This album masterfully blends psychedelia, disco, and Southeast Asian sounds, drawing heavily from the ‘60s and ‘70s Thai guitar music scene.
If you think this sounds similar to Khruangbin, you’re not alone. Both of their sounds are similar, with YĪN YĪN offering more of the uptempo options to their shared Thai-funk inspired vibe.
If you’re into instrumental music that fuses various influences with a contemporary edge, give The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers a listen.
Favourite track: Thōm Kï Kï

Bonus tip: Don’t miss the hidden song! After track 5 on the B side, The Sacred Valley of Cusco, there’s a locked groove. Move your stylus to the groove after the locked one, and you’ll uncover a hidden song, Dis̄ Kô Dis̄ Kô.
