"Of course, the band are inspired by Thai rock and funk from the '60s and '70s -- sounds most easily available to Western ears via releases like the Thai Beat a Go-Go compilations or anything issued by ZudRangMa Records. The group also draw from the bass pressure of vintage dub reggae, the free-spirited haziness of California psychedelia, and the gritty passion of '70s soul, with hints of Iranian pop, Afrobeat, Spaghetti Western film scores, and countless other styles. While this sounds like it could be an impossibly tall order, or something that requires an encyclopedic knowledge of music just to listen to, the band achieve a remarkably, almost effortlessly cohesive sound, and it goes down much more smoothly than one might expect"

"As an album made up predominantly of instrumentals, it may seem tenuous to associate Khruangbin's second record with an overtly political or cultural message. Yet the Spanish title speaks for itself, translating to "With All the World". This is a record not only rich in beautiful psychedelic colour, by extension, it celebrates international culture and unity ... Con Todo el Mundo feels like a record to be enjoyed in transit, towards somewhere sunny, optimistic, exciting. The band soon embark on winter and spring tours, and as a live outfit, they will transport you to warmer times"
