Khruangbin, the globetrotting Texan trio, invites you to explore the depths of their unique sound with "Hasta El Cielo," a captivating dub reinterpretation of their second album, "Con Todo El Mundo." Released on their own label on July 12, 2019, this 12-track album offers a fresh perspective on the band's signature psych-funk and reggae-infused music, spanning a concise yet engaging 50 minutes.
"Hasta El Cielo" strips back the original album's instrumentation, allowing DJ's drums and Laura Lee's basslines to take center stage. The result is a collection of slow-burning instrumental tracks that highlight the beauty of simplicity and the power of subtle tweaks. The album's title translates to "To The Sky," hinting at the elevated experience that awaits those who press play.
The album features 10 dub remixes of the original tracks, each one offering a playful and inessential twist on the band's psych-funk sound. The vinyl edition of the album comes with a bonus 7" single, featuring two additional dub remixes by the legendary Scientist, adding even more value for vinyl collectors.
Khruangbin's "Hasta El Cielo" is a testament to the band's versatility and their ability to reinvent their sound. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to captivate and inspire. So, grab your headphones and get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Khruangbin.
