A La Sala AJXLP542 the 1957 album not onlyKhruangbin returns with their familiar hi fi magic on A La Sala. A more stripped down sound than their previous works, but just as remarkable all the same. They blend subtle drumming and whispered vocals rather than echoing heavy layers. The album's relaxed pace emphasizes the individual skills of each player, allowing more space for distinctive instrumentation to be heard. It's a much welcome return to the earthy atmospherics we love the band for.
