About

Chicano Batman’s third album extends their groovy pastiche to funk and soul. Eclectic without ever feeling showy, <i>Freedom Is Free</i> plays like buried treasure dug out of an imaginary basement, juxtaposing glassy-eyed, “Crimson and Clover”–style ballads (“Friendship,” “Run”) with sharp, Curtis Mayfield critique (“The Taker Story”) and Brazilian-style rave-ups (“Flecha Al Soul”). It’s a psychedelic, South American sound that stretches from Memphis to Montevideo.
