This black vinyl record is issued by Dead Oceans in a custom sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Fifteen Fifty-Three' opens with guitar figures influenced by spaghetti western scores, while 'May Ninth' pairs a gentle melody with soft singing. 'Pon Pón' brings West African disco influences into a dance rhythm, and 'Todavía Viva' draws on G-funk. 'Hold Me Up (Thank You)' includes words of appreciation for family and loved ones, while 'A Love International' builds around repeating guitar and bass phrases. The album alternates instrumental passages with brief vocals and contrasting rhythms throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eA La Sala\u003c\/em\u003e means 'to the room' in Spanish, a phrase connected to Ochoa's childhood family gatherings.
