Mosquitos (aka becoming addicted)
I’m really IN LOVE with this band!
If fact, i’m totally addicted. I have to take my every day dose on Mosquitos to keep me alive. Sad but true, they stole my heart, and now i need them to live. Please, blame Fame for this!

Review from PopMatters.com
“It’s hard not to fall in love with Mosquitos the first time you hear them. The music is so natural, the purity of the sound completely irresistible. Listening to this album is like truly taking a vacation from every other sort of music and sound that could be possibly filling the rest of your CD racks at the moment. This is one that will be played again and again without ever becoming stale. Mosquitos does indeed have a new/old sound worth visiting whenever possible. A beautiful work of art, this album should be picked up by any and all of those reading these words.”
Review from babysue
“The folks in Mosquitos have quickly carved out their own unique niche in the world of music. The trio consists of Brazilian singer Juju Stulbach and Americans Chris Root (vocals, guitar) and Jon Marshall Smith (keyboards, samples, studio trickery). Together, these folks create Brazilian-flavored alterna-pop that goes down nice and easy. The band’s music is reminiscent of Ivy, but that is mainly due to Stulbach’s breathy vocal style. Sunshine Barato (translated to mean “cheap sunshine”), the band’s second full-length, is even better than their debut. And considering what solid footing they started out on, that is really saying something. Barato is bound to be on a great many best of lists for this year. The songs are extremely strong and feature superb arrangements that support the main melody in a variety of intriguing ways. The band’s straightforward pop music laced with hints of bossa nova is intriguing and soothing. Both Stulbach and Root have fantastic voices which pushes their music to a higher level. A cool spin from start to finish…featuring killer tracks like “Flood,” “Xixizinho no Oceano,” “Blue Heart,” “Domesticada,” and “27 Degrees.” A MUST HAVE. (Rating: 5+++)”
