"A Hymn" by Khruangbin is DOPE Because...

We first became aware of Khruangbin’s “A Hymn” through Jay Electronica’s song “A.P.I.D.T.A.” , the last track you’ll hear on his recently released debut album “A Written Testimony”.
After listening to “A.P.I.D.T.A.”, we went to Wikipedia to find out who produced it. From that search, we discovered the Houston based 3-piece band Khruangbin and their song “A Hymn”, which is DOPE because…
…it transports you to your own secret island getaway. Additionally, it incorporates the happiest and most blissful sounds. When you listen to this song, you’re immediately engulfed into a magical paradise land. The riffs of the electric guitar alone, pull you, melodically into the island breeze.
Soft sounds of the shaker release any stress that was attached to you. Then, you’re greeted with a warm smile and a tropical, fruity, delicious drink. You enjoy the peacefulness of the island and then, you hear the truest, and most pure sound of humanity: a child’s laughter. Releasing you back from the island and into reality. Arriving you safely to the ones who are held closest to your heart. A sweet serenity of a sendoff. It’s as if the island says “Thanks for you coming and we hope to see you soon, namaste”.
Khruangbin’s “A Hymn” is DOPE because it takes you to the happiest part of your soul. “A Hymn” is track 8 on their 2018 album titled “Con Todo El Mundo”, which literally translates to “with everyone”. Thus, making this song, holistic and inclusive in its entirely. Not only does this song transport you to your secret getaway, but it brings you closer… with everyone.
