Khruangbin rises at the forefront of a new music movement

Season 2025 Episode 249 | 7m 14s

In today’s pop music, vocals reign supreme. The charts are dominated by singers and rappers, but there’s an increasingly popular genre focused on more instrumental music. William Brangham catches up with Khruangbin, a Grammy-nominated Texas trio and one of the bands at the forefront of this movement.
