Recorded live on the tenth anniversary of the sessions of their 2015 debut, in the same Texas barn, the trio revisit that album but treat these songs less as relics than living memories-familiar shapes refracted through time and tenderness. Each track retains its silhouette but glows differently in the dim light. 'White Gloves ii' is slower, softer with its melancholy. Speer's Sicilian-tinged acoustic textures on 'Little Joe and Mary ii' and the dreamy, Philly-soul shimmer of 'Balls and Pins ii' reveal the group's fluid command of tone and space. The closing 'Zionsville ii', touched by organ and ghostly choir, feels like a slow dance for the end of the world. There's no nostalgia here, just reflection. The sound of this band acknowledging its past while refusing to stay still. The Universe Smiles Upon You II is Khruangbin at their most intimate, alive, and unguarded.
