Super Relax by Cibo Matto
Super Relax is an EP by Cibo Matto, released in 1996. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sugar Water”, on 4 lists with a best position of #172.
Super Relax is Cibo Matto's stopgap EP between Viva! La Woman and Stereo Type A, and it doubles as a handshake: it's the first release with new recruits Sean Lennon and Timo Ellis on board alongside Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda, the two Japanese expats who started the band in New York City in 1994. Four of its nine tracks are takes on "Sugar Water" from the debut, each one bending that woozy groove a different way.
The rest is a grab bag in the best sense: a pair of covers, a live "BBQ", a first run at "Spoon", which would turn up reworked on Stereo Type A, and "Crumbs", rescued from their 1995 self-titled EP. Hatori's voice floats, Honda's samplers and keyboards twitch underneath, and the whole thing feels like a party in a very small, very cool kitchen.
