Chicano Batman’s laid-back grooves are pure distillations of warm Californian nights. The Los Angeles group’s passionate proclamations and retrospection are set to funk-laden psychedelia, replete with nimble bass runs and easy, swinging drums—a sound that’s captured audiences within and well beyond California’s borders since the early 2010s. The Latino four-piece write their tunes in both English and Spanish, providing varied subtexts to their richly layered songbook on cuts like “Cycles of Existential Rhyme”, “La Tigresa” and their vibrant take on Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land”.
