Chicago based Daniel Villarreal has announced the release of Lados B, the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed debut Panamá 77. Back in 2020, Villarreal spent a couple of afternoons recording in LA with guitarist Jeff Parker and bassist Anna Butterss, and these sessions yielded Panama 77, as well as more material unreleased until now. Lados B, which means B sides, is also the fruit of those sessions but despite its name, the record is “more a zoomed-in view of one particular session”, as the press release describes, “a detail from a larger painting in which you can see all kind of new things”.

Lados B arrives on October 6th through International Anthem and ahead of it Villarreal has shared the beaming and groovy ‘Sunset Cliffs’ as the lead single. The track comes with an accompanying video made by Burkie and you can watch it below.
