The upcoming full-length will be the band's first solo studio album in four years.
Psychedelic soul trio Khruangbin have announced their fourth studio album A La Sala, out April 5 2024 via Dead Oceans.
To mark the news, they’ve shared the LP’s buttery smooth lead single – ‘A Love International’. Check out the music video below.
“‘A Love International’ arrives as both a nostalgic and poised step forward for Khruangbin - a vista for a band posing subtle questions about the surreal nature of art’s representation and one’s own reality,” read a statement from the band.
Over the last decade, the Texans have built a reputation as one of the most original, genre-bending acts around, earning co-signs from musicians as diverse as Questlove, Flea, Tina Weymouth, and David Byrne.

Seven different covers will adorn A La Sala’s various vinyl editions, offering “a throughline from the music into Khruangbin’s current frame.”
Designed by the band using a multitude of travelog photos, and inspired by surrealist artist René Magritte, the covers serve as "windows from the band’s living room onto a set of daydreams, scenes of impossible skies, external glances illuminating what is going on inside”.
Their last full-length outing was 2022’s Ali, a collaborative work with Vieux Farka Touré, which Pat Carty described as “near-perfect; as a showcase for four gifted musicians working together across the borders that the best music ignores anyway.”
