Synopsis

Amazon.com
On their third album, this Brazilian-flavored, New York City-based trio make it clear that they're wielding a vivid palette, curious minds and active imaginations. The opening "Moonshine" finds a slide guitar being punctuated by exuberant drums, followed by a brief, airy vocal. It ends in less than a minute and a piano enters for the second number, with Chris Root's intimate singing sounding at once but like a sunny bossa nova chanteuse and a late night continental cabaret balladeer. In less than forty minutes Mosquito manage to offer up fifteen finely chiseled slices of refreshing songcraft. Anchored by guitar or keyboards, the melodies are hook-filled without being cloying. And all the while the percussion of JuJu Stulbach dances around and through the proceedings like a giddy bird. --David Greenberger

CD Reviews

I didn't think they could top Sunshine Barato. They did it!
Brian Shensky | Ann Arbor, MI USA | 10/26/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Yup, they did it. They topped "Barato" big time, by creating something different from it. The sound is more mature and intimate, the instruments more varied and interesting. I'm so sorry I held off getting "III" under such false pretenses!



Note to the band's keyboardist: The Mellotron and acoustic piano flatter the band in a big big way!"
