"While The Universe Smiles Upon You often slides by, frictionless, on grooves and guitars that sound like they've been doused in Vaseline, don't be tricked for a moment into thinking that it qualifies as easy listening ... Embracing the grand open skies of rural Texas and the lurid neon of Bangkok in one fell swoop, The Universe Smiles Upon You succeeds not because of the exotic nature of its influences, but the tact with which it incorporates them into its own mesmerizing universe".

"Khruangbin are a largely instrumental Houston trio that take elements of '60s and '70s Thai funk, soul, psych, R&B, surf, and jazz and pull it all into the same spacious but distinct sonic universe ... The result is something both groove-heavy and dreamy, and it absolutely evokes the deep-in-the-wilderness, staring-at-the-stars sense of mysticism that its title and cover art hint at. Listen below".
