Source-derived summary

A La Sala (transl. "To the Living Room") is the fourth studio album by American musical trio Khruangbin. It was released on April 5, 2024, through Dead Oceans and Night Time Stories.

Background

On the album's title, Laura Lee has said "'A La Sala,' I used to scream it around my house when I was a little girl, to get everybody in the living room; to get my family together. That's kind of what recording the new album felt like. Emotionally there was a desire to get back to square-one between the three of us, to where we came from–in sonics and in feeling." The album is the band's first without any additional collaborators.

Release

On January 16, 2024, the trio announced the album along with its lead single, "A Love International". The single released alongside a music video directed by Scott Dungate. On January 29, 2024, the trio announced the A La Sala Tour in support of the album. Hermanos Gutiérrez, John Carroll Kirby, Peter Cat Recording Co., Men I Trust, and Arooj Aftab joined the tour as openers. The tour is began on April 14, 2024, in Indio and concluded on October 10, 2024, in New Orleans.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“A La Sala” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sala, studio and album provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124714078. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
