April 5 street date. Khruangbin's fourth studio album, "A LA SALA", is an exercise in returning in order to go further, and doing so on your own terms. It continues the mystery and sanctity that is the key to how bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, drummer Donald "DJ" Johnson, Jr., and guitarist Mark "Marko" Speer approach music. If 2020's "Mordechai", the last studio LP Khruangbin made without collaborators, was a party record that enhanced the band’s musical reputation far and wide, then "A LA SALA" is the measured morning after. It's a gorgeously airy record completed only in the company of the group's longtime engineer Steve Christensen, with minimal overdubs. "A LA SALA" invites you to gaze through a window upon a landscape of daydreams, impossible skies and surreal glances, reflecting what we experience inward when looking outward. Each physical edition of "A LA SALA" incorporates unique travelogue photos captured by Marko. The black LP includes a bespoke jacket and handwritten elements from bassist Laura Lee, while the limited vinyl colorway edition feature a die-cut jacket revealing its own living room and window.
