Khana Bierbood

Western pop culture has pretty much invaded every corner of the globe now, and will probably only continue to do so as the world gets more and more connected.  And while there are certainly pros and cons to this movement of culture, i have to say that i love, love, love different countries' interpretations of Western psychedelic rock.  They're generally more faithful to their forebears, but often better and more original than the sound they're aping.  Take Thailand band Khana Bierbood for instance.  Their debut full-length album, "Strangers From the Far East," could have been plucked right out of the '60s, and yet they sound leaps and bounds ahead.  Listen to the garagey "Plankton Bloom" below and snag a copy of the record here from Guruguru Brain.
