Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo (2018) Still Spinning Ep. 3

Описание: Hello, warm greetings, and welcome to Still Spinning.

In this episode, we spin Khruangbin’s Con Todo el Mundo, a laid-back, psychedelic funk album that somehow works in any situation. Whether you’re cooking, relaxing alone, or setting the vibe for a get-together, this album is a perfect companion.

Khruangbin, the Houston-based trio, blends Thai funk, Middle Eastern pop, American soul, and psychedelic rock to create something both fresh and familiar. Laura Lee Ochoa’s melodic basslines, Mark Speer’s dreamy guitar work, and Donald “DJ” Johnson’s human-metronome drums combine to form a tight, hypnotic, and effortlessly cool sound.

Tracks range from cruising-down-the-avenue grooves to danceable beats, to quiet, contemplative moments like “Hymm”. Fun fact: Jay Electronica and Jay-Z rapped over “Hymm,” capturing the subtle sadness of the track beautifully.

Released on January 26, 2018, under Dead Oceans and Night Time Stories, Con Todo el Mundo is widely regarded as a modern classic of instrumental, funk, and world music. Critics praise its global soul sound, tight instrumentation, and immersive, dreamy atmosphere. While some say the tracks sound similar, the cohesion enhances the hypnotic experience and transports you fully into Khruangbin’s world.
