Blackbeans make music that sounds like a comforting hug feels. With big-hearted melodies, guitar figures that weave confidently around them and a reassuringly steady rhythm section, the Thai quartet’s songs feel precision engineered to help their listeners through the toughest of times. Add vocalist Boom’s singing style—which moves between a fragile, quivering falsetto and breathy closeness—and you have a band ready for the biggest of arenas but retaining the warmth and intimacy to ensure every listener feels nurtured.
