Khruangbin are setting the mood again with their latest single release, ‘May Ninth,’ a sneak peek into their upcoming album, A LA SALA, set to drop on April 5th.

Adding to the excitement, Khruangbin are gearing up to bring their characteristic sound to audiences across North America with an extended tour. The band are slated to grace the stages of major music festivals like Coachella, Boston Calling, and Bonnaroo and perform at iconic venues, including Denver’s Red Rocks and New York’s Forest Hills Tennis Stadium.
Khruangbin’s journey has been one that’s steered clear of mainstream expectations to create a sound and visual style that’s all their own. A LA SALA is a testament to this, built from creative snippets collected over time, now pieced together to form an album that taps into unexplored facets of their musical identity.
