Bardo Martinez, celebrated as a founding member and frontman of beloved Los Angeles band Chicano Batman, steps into a bold new chapter with Transformation Time, his debut solo album on Stones Throw Records. Drawing from his roots spanning California, Mexico, and Colombia, Bardo crafts a rich sonic tapestry that weaves together '70s and '80s R&B, funk, soul, and post-punk attitude into something entirely his own.
Across twelve tracks, Transformation Time explores deeply personal themes of love, angst, rebirth, and community, with notable collaborations from Combo Chimbita and N8NOFACE adding further depth to the record. It's a confident and eclectic debut that showcases Bardo's singular voice as a solo artist, making it a compelling addition to any collection of modern soul and funk.
