    Khruangbin didn’t need to change much on this album, the sound they produce as a unit is still fresh, exciting and uniquely life-affirming.

    Con Todo el Mundo feels like a record to be enjoyed in transit, towards somewhere sunny, optimistic, exciting.

    There’s new ground covered in the disco funk of Evan Finds the Third Room and the slow dance of album closer Friday Morning. Mostly, though, Con Todo el Mundo is a celebration of what shared creativity and influence can bring--something the world needs a bit more of these days.

    A set of limber, largely instrumental funk shot through with Asian, African and Middle Eastern melodies, each track sounds like it could have come off as jukebox single purchased from some dusty overseas record kiosk. [Feb 2018, p.29]

    The result is a border-blurring convergence, one likely to propel whatever dance floor is lucky enough to receive it.

    Khruangbin’s takes this new mode of listening and injects its own singular and developing personality into the playlisting of modern music.

    The disc’s first half is most engrossing, especially the slinky, smouldery swagger of “Lady and Man,” which whips up funk intensity with explosive starts and stops. ... Late album tracks drift and drone, pillow-padded with angelic “oohs” and paced for motionless contemplation.

And i love it. It's rich in sound and of course relaxing as hell. I am enjoying the new tracks and I already can't wait to hear their next ones. Congratulations to Laura, Mark and Donald. Expand

A couple of songs don't really work but overall it's perfectly groovy. Expand
