Khruangbin have returned with “May Ninth,” the latest dreamy offering from their upcoming album, A LA Sala.
With soft, tender drums and an utterly warm guitar line from Mark Speer, “May Ninth” is a gentle and wistful ode to warmer days. “Oh what a dream to me/ Waiting for May to come,” Laura Lee and Speer sing in their respective octaves, conjuring the yearning early winter feeling where summer feels like lightyears away. Khruangbin may be longing for warmth and sunshine, but they create it from scratch on “May Ninth.” The song also arrives with an animated video helmed by Nathaniel Murphy, Jenny Lucia Mascia, and Jeremy Higgins; watch the official visualizer below.
“May Ninth” follows previous A LA Sala single “A Love International.” A LA Sala, which is out on April 5th via Dead Oceans, will be the trio’s fifth studio album. Their last effort was their collaborative LP with Vieux Farka Touré,...

Khruangbin has announced their latest album A LA Sala, which is out on April 5th via Dead Oceans. To share a “first glimpse of the bountiful vistas powering the band’s vision,” as their press release states, the band has also revealed A LA Sala’s lead single, “A Love International.”
A LA Sala aims to be an “exercise in returning” for the psychedelic rock trio of bassist Laura Lee, drummer Donald Johnson, Jr., and guitarist Mark Speer. Recorded with no outside collaborators besides the band’s engineer Steve Christensen, the album sees Khruangbin in their truest form — aiming to establish “a reimagining and refueling of the group for a long haul ahead.”
To coincide with the release’s release, Khruangbin have announced a three-night residency at the Bowery Ballroom in New York from March 27th to the 29th. They are also set to play Bonnaroo this June.

African multi-instrumentalist Ali Farka Touré had become a legend by the time he died in 2006. His music was used in a song for “Black Panther,” and he was thought of as a pioneer of African desert blues.
Touré’s son Vieux Farka Touré has also made waves around the world with his genre-crossing music. That music is celebrated in the new documentary “Vieux de Niafunké,” which includes an appearance by one of his enthusiastic fans, Matthew McConaughey.
“[McConaughey] was very excited to share his thought and his stories about Ali, and then speak a little bit about the musical traditions being handed down to Ali’s son, Vieux, and then a little bit about the culture of Mali,” says the doc’s director, Ian Campbell.
Campbell, a documentary cinematographer and director, was another one of Vieux Farka Touré’s admirers. “I’m a huge fan of Vieux [Farka Touré’s] and have been for many years,...
