Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo
Con Todo el Mundo is the 2nd LP by Houston's Khruangbin. The album was released in early 2018. We started selling Khruangbin's 1st LP, The Universe Smiles Upon You at Breakaway soon after its late 2015 release. That album sounded so fresh, and interesting, and it was dope that they were from Texas. I could have never predicted that a groovy, psychedelic, instrumental band from down the road would have such an impact and following within just a few years. Like, I LOVE Khruangbin. I just didn't think the whole world would as well. And that's a beautiful thing. To see something so unique and cool (and Texan) translate to a worldwide audience has been wonderful to witness.
Con Todo el Mundo really solidified their style and sound. It's a mellow yet bold musical statement that still sounds singular and new. The way the guitar and bass weave in and out of each other is hypnotic. The melodic hooks are almost always the bass-line and / or the sparse vocals. The drums are purposefully simple; keeping time in a subtle, funky way. The production is great. The clarity and simplicity of the instrumentation, as well as the thoughtfulness and space in the arrangements belies a low-key complexity. This is music that is at once both soothing and compelling. The groove never drops. It feels like the perfect soundtrack for, and antidote to our modern world.
Khruangbin continues to release incredible music, form musical collaborations, and tour extensively. May we have many, many more years of their magic.
