Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't think they could top Sunshine Barato. They did it!, October 25, 2006

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!

I have been listening to the mosquitos since their first album when I saw them open up for Air. I was charmed from the beginning. I have seen them live several times and I am always impressed. This album has a sound that has evolved into a mature relationship between these musicians. It has lot's of new surprises but maintains your favorite qualities. Each song is a pleasure to listen to.
