Khruangbin
Khruangbin's new album, "A La Sala", signals a desire to get back to square-one between the three members. Back to where they came from, in sonics and in feeling.
The title makes it clear. "A La Sala" ("To the Room" in Spanish), the fourth studio album by Khruangbin, is an exercise in returning in order to go further, and do so on your own terms. It extends the air of mystery and sanctity that's 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 album Khruangbin made without collaborators, was a party record whose ensuing post-lockdown tour enhanced the band's musical reputation far and wide, A La Sala is the measured morning after. It's a gorgeously airy album made only in the company of the group's longtime engineer Steve Christensen, with minimal overdubs. It is a porthole onto the bounties powering Khruangbin's vision, a reimagining and refueling for the long haul ahead.
