Chicano Batman recently dropped “Tanto Arriba Como Abajo,” Their latest single and instrumental track was produced by Sam Cohen (Danger Mouse, Curtis Harding, Kevin Morby).

“”Tanto Arriba Como Abajo” was written and recorded spontaneously during a session break at our bassist Eduardo’s studio,” shares guitarist Carlos Arevalo. “Most of what you hear is what was played in the room by five musicians completely in the moment. It has been some time since we’ve released an instrumental, so to remedy that we’ve decided to share this one from the vault.”

This summer, Chicano Batman will be touring in the United Kingdom and Europe in August, followed by dates across Mexico. The Los Angeles-based band promise to bring a high-energy celebration of the band’s latest musical achievements, drawing on the bold and boundary-pushing sounds of their latest album Notebook Fantasy.

Chicano Batman’s tour comes on the heels of the critically acclaimed ‘Notebook Fantasy,’ a project that showcases the band’s artistic evolution and their commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Erykah Badu) and partly recorded at the historic Sunset Sound, ‘Notebook Fantasy’ embraces a sonic approach that bassist Eduardo Arenas refers to as “painting in primary colors.”

The band, comprised of Bardo Martinez (vocals/lyricist), Carlos Arévalo (guitar), and Eduardo Arenas (bass), has captivated audiences with their innovative sound and vibrant performances. Their latest album, Notebook Fantasy, continues to showcase their exceptional musicianship and creativity.

Notebook Fantasy takes its title from a phenomenon likely familiar to anyone who feels outside the status quo: the act of spending your formative years dreaming up other worlds and realities in the pages of a notebook, exploring those possibilities with a bold and wide-eyed freedom. “We wanted to peel back all the fuzziness and compression, and create something big and punchy and clear that would still hold up if you stripped it down to just a vocal and one instrument,” Arevalo says.
