Buy Barracuda from Amazon
We all knew it was going to happen eventually, and with Barracuda, it finally has. Kinky—the trans-global Mexican dance-rock act—have finally shed the worldbeat affectations that have previously defined their sound, and finally turned into the sleek electro-pop purveyors that they’ve secretly wanted to be ever since their 2002 debut album. Though 2006’s Beck-influenced Reina showed the band slowly moving into more mainstream club territory, it’s on Barracuda that they finally complete their transition.
