Daniel Villarreal

a beautifully vivid illustration of context, creativity, and collective composition from a particularly rich moment in history.

’Lados B’ is a deep dive into the high-level spontaneous music made by Villarreal, Parker, and Butterss across those two days in 2020. Villarreal is heard leading the group through various rhythmic modes and structures of improvisational flow - as informed by the Latin soul of Fania Records as it is by the otherworldly humanity trance of Brain Records - while Parker and Butterss draw o their extensive experience playing free together (as heard on Parker's recently-released Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, and the LA side of Makaya McCraven's 2018 LP Universal Beings) to build harmonic buoys for their spontaneous melodicism.
