I learned of this band (Khruangbin) & song (Maria También) from their music album Con Todo El Mundo thanks to their Tiny Desk concert on NPR Music called Khruangbin: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert:
It is refreshing to hear some good unique old style instrumental music with stable drums & clean guitar, and a great live performance.

The 2020 smart band called the Wyze Band by Wyze.
Here is how Wyze describes the Wyze Band:
Wyze Band is so much more than your typical activity tracker. Wyze Band lets you control your smart home from your wrist. Don’t get us wrong! This bad boy is still every bit the activity and sleep tracker that you expect from a device sitting on your wrist. It can even track your heart rate. Take that and add to it the ability to control your smart home… Now that’s what we call a smart band.
Wyze Band can control your Wyze devices – Turn on or tune Wyze Bulb. Pause Wyze Cam notifications. Control your Wyze Plug. It will also work with future Wyze devices, and with Alexa built-in, Wyze Band can control many non-Wyze smart home products. Configure rules in the Alexa app and you can have Wyze Band controlling your smart TV, running your nighttime routine, and even fetching your favorite playlist. That’s some next-level stuff right there.
What else does Wyze Band got? How about a high-resolution, AMOLED touch screen. For those that aren’t techies out there, that’s a screen like what you have in your fancy smartphone. Customize that pixel-packed screen to make it your own. Upload your own image, or do like most people on the web do and rip off someone else’s work. Your wrist. Your choice, right?
Use Wyze Band to find your phone or receive call/app notifications. Heaven knows you can’t live without your phone for five minutes…
Don’t sweat the sweat or the shower. Wyze Band is 5ATM rated, meaning you can submerge it up to 50 metres for 10 minutes. So, unless you’ve recently taken up deep-sea diving, you won’t have problems taking this into the water with you. Wyze Band is designed to be comfortable and with a 10-day battery life, you’ll hardly ever need to take it off.

The song Paper Bag by the English electronic music duo Goldfrapp from their 2000 music album Felt Mountain:
Here is how Genius describes this song:
“Paper Bag” is a ballad about businesses, the pursuit of money, and romantic obsession, featuring Alison’s usual fragmented, surreal songwriting style.
On the compilation album iTunes Originals: Goldfrapp, Alison said:
It’s quite an unusual song, the lyrics are quite unusual.
It’s got a very definite character, I think. […]
It’s something that we still feel is representative of the sounds we like playing with.
Here is how Wikipedia describes this song:
The second track, “Paper Bag”, is about being obsessed with someone and not being able to have them. [9]
