Cibo Matto – Viva! La Woman album art
Front cover of LP edition of the album
Cibo Matto (Italian for “crazy food”) was a band formed and fronted by Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda, two Japanese expatriates living in New York City. Other members have included Yuko Araki, Timo Ellis, Duma Love, and, most notably, Sean Lennon.
Viva! La Woman, the band’s first full-length album, showcases their singular fusion of disparate genres and influences. Every song on the album is in some way related to food or drink, such as the tracks “Know Your Chicken” and “Sugar Water.”
The band’s name appears to be a roughly hand-drawn recreation of Graphique with a slightly deeper shadow. The album’s title is in all caps Rossetti, a wonky digitization of Harrington.
Art direction and design by Mike Mills, with design assistance from Garland Lyn. The cover illustration is by Thomas Thurnauer.
