Khruangbin have announced that they've got a new album in the pipeline. It's called Hasta El Cielo, and it's a reworked dub version of their last record, 2018's Con Todo El Mundo. The album includes two dub mixes from legendary Jamaican audio engineer Scientist.
“For us, Dub has always felt like a prayer. Spacious, meditative, able to transport the listener to another realm," the band wrote in a statement. "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."
In anticipation of the new project, the Texas trio have shared the album's first single, "Mary Always," a new take on "Maria También." Stream it, and peep Khruangbin's upcoming world tour dates, below.
