Musically, Khruangbin maintain their unwavering ability to weave a tapestry of diverse styles and sounds into their musical output.

Khruangbin have always made music that rewards close listening. With the vocal hooks and dancing boots of Mordechai, they’re making it easier than ever for us to love them.

Mordechai finds Khruangbin coming into their own, thanks to the band’s lyrical development and the honing of their fusion of intercontinental influences.

Khruangbin's music can still work as an ebullient, sun-baked soundtrack to daily activities, social gatherings, or cross-country road trips, but their songs have gotten more expressive and soul-searching, and Mordechai rewards closer listening more than any of their previous recordings.

Mordechai is a baptism, a rebirth, a new beginning.

Intensely relaxing, wonderfully addictive, and ultra-mellow, ‘Moredechai’ is this summer’s sunset record.

Mordechai offers a rich, meditative escape from the world, something more welcomed than ever in the current climate.

If you’re a long time Khruangbin fan, you’ll be engrossed by the vexing variations on a theme. If you’re new to the Khruangbin game, you’ve entered at an intriguing interlude. Stay a while. It’s nice.

Mordechai literally expands Khruangbin’s vocabulary, while the group’s eclectic whirl continues to soar through a soulful stratosphere. First class, all the way.

Mordechai is still very much a psychedelic vista of an album, but the difference is all with the vocals.

Even for an instrumental album, the sheer inoffensiveness of the music leaves you feeling adrift.

Mordechai is exactly what Khruangbin should have made at this point in their career. At its best, it’s a balm for the soul; at its worst, it’s background noise.

On their third album, the dubby band’s feel for a groove remains intact, but they often render vibrant sounds from all over the world as impeccably stylish mood music.

Mordechai is far from the upper tiers of vibe music.

'Mordechai' is a beautiful melodic story, consisting of 10 trilogies and each expressed with complete minimalism. Minimal wave of Tame Impala.
With all the funky influence, a bass to get chill as fuck. And guitar lines that leads everything very well. Mordechai is a psychedelic experience of being chill. It could be great maybe, but is still a good background album for the chill experience
A good album with instrumental emphasis and lo-fi melodies.
