Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band initially caught the ears of music enthusiasts via a YouTube clip posted to the Dangerous
Minds blog in 2013 with the caption “Mindblowing psychedelia from Thailand”. Helped by some interpreters at his local Thai
restaurant, sound engineer Josh Marcy travelled to a small village near Lom Sak to record the band professionally. The
result was their eponymous 2014 debut.
The music Khun Narin’s Electric Phin Band plays is called phin prayuk. A phin is a 3-stringed lute, on which the band uses
a string of BOSS effects pedals, including a phaser, distortion and digital delay. The ever-rotating cast of members spans
several generations of musicians who play on hand-made instruments and take special pride in their custom mobile PA
system: an imposing tower of 8 loudspeaker horns atop a huge bass cabinet. A standard engagement sees them
performing during morning rituals, playing several low-key sets from the comfort of plastic lawn chairs. After a mid-day
banquet, they lead a parade through the community to the local temple, picking up more and more partiers along the way.
A fan of their casual yet participatory playing environment, Marcy returned to Lom Sak in early 2015 to record more. II
features covers of traditional Thai pop songs, introduces some new players including new phin players Aob and Bas while
retaining some members of the old guard

Innovative Leisure is an American record label from Los Angeles, founded by Nate Nelson, Jamie Strong and hanni El Khatib in 2010. Nate Nelson and Jamie Strong worked together at Stones Throw Records, Hanni El Khatib was Creative Director for the streetwear label HUF from San Francisco. They came together to give a framework for the artists and the music they believed in. Their first release was the debut of Lazer Sword, a duo from San Francisco. The common denominator of Innovative Leisure is not a certain sound, but the quality of the music. »At the end of the day, we are music fans that want to work with artists that we believe in and music that we enjoy. It’s really a simple concept, but we want it to be a family and a home full of incredible musicians and equally as important, incredible individuals.«(Jamie Strong) Equally important for the three founder next to the music is a certain penchant for fashion and design. There are not many labels like Innovative Leisure, that are focused on these three elements (music, fashion, design) equally. This makes them special in the label scene worlwide.
