The Vaudeville Mews presents...
Whoever thought when "Know Your Chicken" came out in the mid-90s it would make such a mark on the culture? We're talking about a surrealist pastiche about magenta chickens set to boom-bap breakbeats and muted trumpet, rapped by a pair of grinning Japanese girls so obsessed with eating that they named every song on their first record after food. It doesn't exactly spell commercial success, especially for a then-unknown avant-pop act from New York City who's name is Italian for "Crazy Food." But then, nothing about Cibo Matto follows any pattern or well-established blueprint. From their formation in 1994 through to their new record, Hotel Valentine, Cibo Matto has made any attempt at classification look very misguided.
