Are we present at a crazy fun party or a scary dark ritual? Take your pick, I have no idea what's happening here. This song is from a collection of Thai Luk Thung rock called 'Thai? Dai! - The heavier side of the Luk Thung Underground'. Luk Thung is Thailand's folk music, the lyrics tend to be about the rural life. There is also Luk Krung, considered urban music. The music on this compilation was basically a fusing of the two, although I really can't comprehend the cultural significance.
What I do know is this singer is badass and intense but she looks so sweet, watch out!, sometimes there are two of her singing! Lots of shouts and hollers. The bass is awesome, it mostly bounces shabbily between two notes, all floppy druggy, keeping it real. The guitar fast chops the chords. It all works perfectly. Horns poppin off every so often, backing up the singer's exclamations, very funky stuff.
