    On February 18, Leon Bridges and rock band Khruangbin release the EP <em>Texas Moon</em>, their second homage to the state both musical acts call home.

    An endless stretch of Texas highway on a hot day; moonlit car rides with a secret lover.

    These are some of the images invoked on Texas Sun, the first collaborative EP between soul and R&B musician Leon Bridges and psychedelic trio Khruangbin.

    On February 18, they debut their second homage to the state both musical acts call home — this time a more introspective, spiritually-driven journey through the darker underworld of the "Lone Star" state.

    Bridges and Mark Speer, guitarist for Khruangbin, spoke to NPR's Kelsey Snell about the upcoming release of Texas Moon.
