“[Kinky] blends traditional Mexican bass and accordion elements into an otherworldly hybrid of electronica, funk, rock and post-punk, tinkering with genres as uninhibitedly as My Morning Jacket.” — PASTE.COM

Mexican rockers KINKY are set to release their fourth studio album BARRACUDA (Kin-Kon/Nettwerk) in February of 2009, with an early digital release on September 30, 2008. Produced by Kinky with some co-production from Money Mark (Beastie Boys) and Chico Sonido, Barracudacaptures the intoxicating energy that the quintet infuses into every live show.

The first single, “Hasta Quemarnos,” (co-produced by Chico Sonido) will premiere on MySpace Latino (latino.myspace.com) on September 16, followed by a full exclusive album premiere on “The Leak” on MTVtr3s.com on September 23.

Kinky, who have toured with the likes of The Flaming Lips, Shakira, Cake and De La Soul, have also just been added to the MTV Tr3s “Tr3s Pass” tour with headliners Calle 13 (tour dates below).
