Cibo Matto (pronounced[ˈtʃiːboˈmatto], Italian for "crazy food") was an American alternative rock band formed by Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori in New York City in 1994.[5] Their first album, Viva! La Woman (1996), had lyrics primarily concerned with food.[1] For their second album, Stereo Type A (1999), they expanded into broader subject matter and recruited Sean Lennon, Timo Ellis, and Duma Love.[6]
Honda and Hatori are Japanese expatriates.[5] Their first album sold 40,000 copies in Japan, but was more successful in the U.S., with over 74,000 copies sold.[7] Over time, their following in Japan grew, which resulted in their signing to Japanese record label Commmons in 2014.[8]
After an almost decade-long hiatus, Honda and Hatori reunited in 2011, playing a series of concerts and recording new material. They released their third and final studio album, Hotel Valentine, in 2014.[9] It reached number 168 on the Billboard 200.[10] Cibo Matto announced their split in December 2017.
