Texas Sun pairs Khruangbin with Leon Bridges, and Mark Speer's slow, twangy lead lines paint wide-open landscapes around the warm vocal. His tone is clean and reverb-rich, with a relaxed vibrato that suggests country and soul influences. The guitar never rushes, instead placing long, singing notes that echo the song's themes of travel and open space. It shows how Speer's minimalist approach can create mood with very few notes.
