Rated 6/10

Exactly what I'd expect to hear as background in a cool cafem

Rated 8/10

Another album where I like the band but don't feel the chosen album is their best work. "People Everywhere" is the standout track on here for me.

Rated 6/10

Not the purest sound, but some nice melodies

Rated 8/10

Mellow bluesy jamming. Didn't stand out or really make the cut for highlights playlist at any point, but made for pretty good working music

Rated 6/10

Mellow Funky Psychedelic Rock. The guitar sound owes a heavy debt to the twang of Duane Eddy and the surf sound of someone like Dick Dale.

It's pleasant, but I don't feel more than that.

Rated 8/10

Like a band from out of time. This sound is such a throwback to the 60's sound in a modern jam form. I guess thinking about it that way, there is no way that this could have been from the 60's because all its stylistic tendencies are sharpened and modified to fit this format. So a very modern old sound? People Everywhere (Still Alive) deserves its single status. Kinda crazy to think this is a power trio.

Rated 8/10

Favorite songs: People Everywhere (Still Alive), Dern Kala, Two Fish and an Elephant

Least favorite songs: Balls and Pins

4/5

Rated 4/10

Overrated boring band. There’s so many artists who do what they do but far better.

Rated 8/10

Great music for bumming around on my bike on a sunny day

Rated 8/10

Im a big fan of the texas sun and Texas moon albums, this one is also really good.

Rated 2/10

What a useless fuckin' album

Rated 6/10

Some music. Not terrible, not great, just some music.

Rated 10/10

I consider Khruangbin one of the best bands to emerge in the past 10 years. Definitely list worthy.
