Martin's Session - July 24

Jason Ankeny from Allmusic.com summarises the difficulty here “A Japanese-born duo relocated to New York and christened with an Italian band name, Cibo Matto’s music mirrored the melting-pot aesthetics of their origins, resulting in a heady brew of funk samples, hip-hop rhythms, tape loops, and fractured pop melodies all topped off by surreal narratives sung in a combination of French and broken English”.
