Taken from Death Is Not The End's Bandcamp page:

Begging the Moon is a collection focused upon an early-to-mid 20th century style of Thai popular song, commonly named Phleng Thai sakon (meaning "song which is both Thai and universal"). With recordings taken from the end of WWII until the start of the 1960s, many of these tracks may also be referred to as Luk krung (meaning "child of the city") a more urbanised style of popular song that is in contrast to the Thai country music known as Luk thung ("child of the field").

Following the Thai cultural revolution of the 1930s and the following reign of west-leaning premier Plaek Phibunsongkhram, Thai culture began to adopt more and more western influences - with Thai traditional and classical music starting to incorporate western notation and particularly Jazz-orientated themes. Thai folk melodies were also adapted to create "ramwong" - a merging of popular western dance music styles such as the tango or rumba, spear-headed at the time by the pioneering Suntaraporn band.

In the years following the end of WWII, the Phleng Thai sakon began to gradually develop sub-genres such as phleng talad (market songs) or phleng chiwit (life songs) focused on rural topics, and sung with rural accents. A little while later this would lead to a formal demarcation in the music - with the polished and western ballad-orientated music known as Luk krung, and the more traditional/country style now dubbed Luk thung. The gap between the two would then widen, both musically and culturally, right up to the present day.

The recordings compiled here can broadly be categorised as being in the former Luk krung style, though some tracks may touch on rural subjects and motifs. However that is not to say they are overpowered by western musical influence - many of these tracks display potent aspects of traditional Thai music within their beguiling and romantic arrangements.

So cute! Not sure if it will hold up though
Size: Queen, Color: Baby Pink, Size: Queen, Color: Baby Pink
This comforter set is so cute! I love how vibrant the pink is. It is also super duper soft. The quality is okay though. There's a lot of random threads coming out, so I honestly don't know how long it will hold up after multiple washes. There's no weight to it either. It's just soft and fluffy which I love. The size is true to size too. It's a real queen size. I love the fact that the fancy pillowcase has pockets. I absolutely adore this style because it keeps your pillow inside at all times. The regular pillowcase is just the normal. No pockets or anything like that. You can see how vibrant this comforter set by comparing it to my weighted blanket that I have underneath it. It's a super vibrant pastel pink, and I love it! I've also been sleeping like a baby ever since I used this set. The comforter set is really so fluffy and soft that it feels like a marshmallow. Since I also pair it with my weighted blanket, it's seriously a dream come true. Overall, I'd recommend this. I just don't know how long it will last after multiple washes.

Nice bedding set for price
Size: Queen, Color: Olive Green
I bought a set of these for my bedroom and guest room. They are true to color, relatively soft, fit perfect, and the comforter is pretty fluffy. The sheets didn't wrinkle and they are easy to wash and dry without doing anything special. My dog stained my guest room set and I absolutely will be ordering another one

Great set for the price!
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I’ve had the set for several months now and I really like this set. I was nervous about the comforter being thin and cheap, however, after washing and drying it is a really good comforter for the price. The sheets and pillow cases are also very smooth, no pilling or ripping, stitches are still intact, so I think it is set is great.

Pretty comforter set
Size: King, Color: Beige
I like how soft and comfortable this comforter set feels. It’s lightweight, so it works well for summer or if you don’t want something heavy. The color looks clean and matches my room nicely. Everything fit the bed the way it should, and the fabric feels smooth. It’s a nice set for everyday use.
