I'm going to try out this new segment to get more things to read about on here. I'll post what songs I've been feeling each particular day I want to post (I don't think I'll be able to handle a post a day for very long...) and share.
So this segment's debut track will be one from New York based band Cibo Matto! Composed of Miho Hatori, Yuka Honda, Sean Lennon and Timo Ellis, they are extremely versatile band and one of my favorite 'Jet Set Radio Future' featured bands; that was actually where I first heard Cibo Matto from along with Scapegoat Wax, BS 2000, and bis. Check out that entire soundtrack along with it's bonus tracks if you want to hear some awesome music.
Anyways, the song I am featuring isn't their contribution to this game but instead comes from their 1999 album Stereo * Type A, the song 'King of Silence. This track is really smooth and I mean fucking smooth. A great catchy and unconventional number on the album. The brass arrangement is stellar and the entire thing just reeks of redemption and comfort. A really touching track if you take a closer peek at the lyrics, it just enhances the entire song experience.
A successful mix of jazz, trip-hop, samba, and j-pop in one lovely package. If you enjoy this song be sure to check the rest of the album. Also they recently reunited last year to play a couple of reunion shows and are releasing a new album this year! Fuck yeah!
