An rhythmic acid jazz piece by Miho Hatori of the late Cibo Matto. Now an independent musician, Hatori forges a sound through which elements of samba, bossa nova, jazz, and alternative rock mix into infectious melodies. Her voice, weightless, lilts with fragility over gentle drum and horn details, then soars with quiet confidence out of English and into Spanish, accentuating her musical eclecticism. Overall, Barracuda is a laid-back listen with a bite of ethnic flavor, sure to sate the appetites of the open-minded.
