And the tour…I would like to catch that with Hermanos Gutierrez opening…muy simpatico.

It occurred to me only recently that Khruangbin is musically interesting. Before I had dismissed them because the guitar-forward style was too much of the same flavor.
More recently I started listening more to the bass and drums, and I now appreciate the elegance of their simple and spacious groove. Laura Lee avoids playing extra notes and leaves plenty of space. Same for the DJ's drums. I like the bare-bones mix that allows the bass to live in a slightly higher register where the simple lines can still poke out a bit.

Full album released today A LA SALA.

Looking forward to catching them on tour (and spending the next few days learning some of these grooves)

Yeah, She and DJ turn the "Flashy" dial all the way over to "Tasty"; sometimes simple language is best when relating something profound.

I’m on my second time through the new album. I think it’s their best yet. It’s very coherent and the bass tones are just luscious and perfectly-recorded. On previous albums, the guitarist overplayed some, which understandable because of the trio format. Laura Lee is getting more confident and the bass lines are memorable.
