Album Review: Barracuda by Kinky
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon is arguably the coolest city in Mexico. So much musical talent comes from Monterrey including one of my favorite groups, Kinky. Having recently released their fifth album, Barracuda, the group continues to live up to the high standard their previous releases set for them. Without a doubt, Barracuda is their best album to date. Without deviating from their signature Latin indie-electro style, Kinky still managed to make Barracuda their most diverse and danceable album. Sure there were a couple of songs that should not have made it to the final cut, but overall it is as close to being a Latin Alternative classic as a group can get.
