Landokmai

Upim and Ant, the two members of Landokmai, studied together at College of Music, Mahidol University in 2018. The two formed the band by first covering Polycat's song "Aworn" and uploading it to YouTube, which received a positive response and led them to decide to write their own songs.^[2]

"Keep Dokmai" (2019) was the band's first song, created when they had to submit a song as a university assignment. Later that same year, they released "On The Train" and "The Diary". In 2020, Landokmai debuted as an artist under What the Duck with the songs "Please Be True"^[3] and "It's Me... Here I Am", both of which were influenced by the music style of The Beatles.^[1] The song was originally made as an English version for a school assignment, but they later adapted it into Thai and released their first EP album, Over The Sun, in the same year.^[4]

In 2021, the band released "Duai Jai Yindi", which focuses on conveying love stories in a more realistic way rather than through dreamy storytelling.^[5] They also released "Suksan Wan Sutthai", a collaborative song with Whal & Dolph.^[6] In 2022, Landokmai released "Tsuki (Phra Chan)", which was inspired by an ancient Japanese poem describing the wide range of human emotions.^[7] They also released "B-D-BUB-BA", whose title comes from a phrase Upim often likes to hum.^[8] In 2023, the band released "Ko Loi Fa", inspired by the animated film studio Studio Ghibli and the anime film Castle in the Sky.^[9] They also released "Taxi", Landokmai's first fully English-language song,^[10] and "Phleng Rak Phleng Raek", the first song by the band since their formation in 2018 to tell a story of fulfilled love.^[11]
