Hasta El Cielo (CD)
Khruangbin
Amoeba Review
08/04/2020
The concept for Khruangbin’s Hasta El Cielo seems to be “Khruangbin: but make it dub.” A gloriously hazy reinterpretation of the band’s acclaimed Con Todo El Mundo, this latest album features two remixes from Scientist; bassist Laura Lee apparently taught herself to play by performing along with the dub legend’s Scientist Wins the World Cup. It’s a blissfully psychedelic affair, featuring spaced-out versions of familiar tracks that sound fresh and vibrant. Another intriguing effort from a band that continues to surprise on each new, exciting release.
