CHICANO BATMAN

Los Angeles psych-soul four-piece Chicano Batman announce Invisible People, out May 1st via ATO Records. The follow-up to 2017’s critically-acclaimed Freedom Is Free is also their most sonically-varied and cohesive. The record is a statement of hope, a proclamation that we are all invisible people, and that despite race, class, or gender we can overcome our differences and stand together.

For the album, the band worked with Shawn Everett, the GRAMMY-award winning mixing engineer known for his work with Alabama Shakes, War on Drugs, and Julian Casablancas. With Leon Michels’ (Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Lee Fields & The Expressions) producing and Everett’s mixing steering the record’s direction, the band’s lush Tropicalia-tinged sound has transformed into their most polished and densely layered. Invisible People is an illuminating and encapsulating sonic landscape, one that hasn’t lost the essence that put Chicano Batman on the map.

The group, who combine “soul, surf and Tropicália into a raging blend of fire and excitement" (Rolling Stone), are celebrating the announcement with a new single and video for “Color my life." Directed by George Mays, the video is a psychedelic collage of visuals that sees the band grooving to synths amongst palm tree-studded backgrounds of Los Angeles’ streets, beaches, and boardwalks. 

LIDO PIMIENTA

Lido Pimienta is a multidisciplinary visual artist, art critic and curator. She is a composer and musical producer of Afro Indigenous(Wayuu) Ancestry from Colombia.

Pimienta resides in Toronto Canada, and has been performing live and exhibiting her work worldwide since 2010. She was the first female of colour to ever compose and original score for the New York City Ballet Orchestra and is also the first ever black and indigenous woman to be debuting as a TV host, writer and creator of a network show in Canada, LIDO TV; a variety show that explores themes like Feminism, Colonialism and Success, with a hilarious twists and the help of puppets. Pimienta’s music and visual work navigates politics of gender, race, motherhood and the construct of the Canadian Landscape in the South American diaspora and vernacular.

Lido Pimienta aims to create a sense of belonging and strength through diversity. Diversity as a feeling and Diversity as a verb. Born and raised in the Caribbean North Coast of Colombia, she draws and creates portraits of the familiar faces found in big crowds going about their day in a beautifully synchronized chaos of the places she calls home. These compositions all exist in what Pimienta calls CARIBE SUBLIME, in which she identifies the Caribbean coast of Colombia and peoples from African diasporas, their cultures and identities, not as exotic but Sublime.

An international artistic referent in her own right, Pimienta’s point of view and resistance to follow trends or participate in a narrative that demands racialized women to be a trope, has earned Pimienta a loyal following in both the mainstream and artistic arenas. With humor, irreverence and the tenderness that comes from her singing voice, Pimienta has positioned herself as a true Renaissance Woman.
