The Mosquitos October 21, 2006

$15 - they are great, I totally recommend it!

The title of Mosquitos' latest release, Sunshine Barato, is a combination of English and Portuguese that literally means "cheap sunshine." It perfectly suits this sensual, whimsical, bilingual collection of 15 tracks that chronicle the sort of experiences money can't buy, like lying on an empty beach, dancing in the rain, or falling asleep next to someone you love. Brazilian singer Juju Stulbach and her two American cohorts, singer-guitarist Chris Root and keyboard-sampler-studio whiz Jon Marshall Smith, further refine what David Fricke of Rolling Stone has called "a sweet hybrid of bossa nova hypnosis and indie pop restraint."
