Cibo Matto

About Cibo Matto

Cibo Matto is the debut EP by Cibo Matto released in 1995. Three tracks from this release would find their way onto the group's debut full-length album, albeit with slightly different arrangements (substantially in the case of "Know Your Chicken") and cleaner, better-produced vocal takes. The EP also features a cover of alternative rock band Soundgarden's 1994 song "Black Hole Sun", which Allmusic describes as "a wonderfully loopy cover... rearranged like a lounge favorite and sung in French. "The final track, the instrumental and ambient "Crumbs" would later resurface on the group's second EP, 1997's Super Relax. In Japan the album has sold 20,000 copies. more »
