Khruangbin – May Ninth
Khruangbin have today shared the song “May Ninth” from their forthcoming new album A LA SALA.
The wistful, mid-tempo track exudes the band’s signature warmth thanks to its American roots-inspired guitar lines and airy vocals — if you listen closely, you can actually hear birds singing in the background. It’s another example of how Khruangbin utilizes environmental sounds both natural and man-made as textures, and how A LA SALA achieves such interconnected set-and-setting-ness.
A LA SALA, Khruangbin’s first LP in four years, is out April 5 on Dead Oceans in partnership with Night Time Stories Ltd.
Khruangbin have also expanded their recently announced North American tour, which will see the band play the Coachella, Boston Calling and Bonnaroo music festivals as well as multiple nights at Denver’s iconic Red Rocks, New York’s Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, Berkeley’s Greek Theatre and more.
