Khruangbin Announces Dub Version Of ‘Con Todo El Mundo’

Khruangbin will release Hasta El Cielo, a dub version of their latest studio album Con Todo El Mundo, on July 12 through Dead Oceans/Night Time Stories. The trio tapped Jamaican producer Scientist for the project, who contributed two additional new dub tracks.

Khruangbin shared the Hasta El Cielo single “Mary Always.” Bassist Laura Lee, guitarist Mark Speer and drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson issued the following statement regarding Hasta El Cielo:

For us, dub has always felt like a prayer. Spacious, meditative, able to transport the listener to another realm. The first dub albums we listened to were records mixed by Scientist featuring the music of the Roots Radics. Laura Lee learned to play bass by listening to Scientist Wins The World Cup. His unique mixing style, with the emphasis on space and texture, creates the feeling of frozen time; it was hugely influential to us as a band. To be able to work alongside Scientist, a legend in the history of dub, is an honor. This is our dub version of Con Todo El Mundo.
