Knocking at every heart, you can expect a sonic experience from the trio like no other. In an official statement, the band shared that "the building blocks…for ‘A La Sala’s’ 12 songs were jigsaw pieces found in Khruangbin’s creative past,"
Composed of fragments and inspirations that the band has yet to explore, it is a combination of ideas previously saved for another day. "Having stockpiled ideas originally set down as off-the-cuff recordings (voice-memos made at sound-checks, on long voyages, as absentminded epiphanies), they began fitting those pieces together in the studio for ‘A La Sala’."
As "A LA SALA" schedules its arrival on April 5th, make sure to gear up for a sonic experience taking flight real soon. Don't miss out on Khruangbin's live show at Greek Theatre Berkeley on August 15 by booking your tickets now!
