Product Description
Product Description
Quirky Brazilian sextet C.S.S. (aka Cansei De Ser Sexy) were one of the surprise success stories of 2006. Launched on an unsuspecting public, their day-glo modern Psychedelia cut a swathe through the identikit angular indie-pop clogging the U.K. music papers. Deliberately attention-grabbing song titles such as "Meeting Paris Hilton," "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex," and "CSS Suxxx" also helped to increase coverage. The dance/art-rock of their full-length debut, Cansei De Ser Sexy, drew favorable comparisons with Har Mar Superstar and LCD Soundsystem.

Different but excellent!

LOVED this set by those zany Brazillian girls (and guy)! Very different than their first release, as the first reviewer explained better than I can, but I'm a big believer in letting artists explore different sounds with every new project (a la Beck or David Byrne). They do not disappoint. So tight, so inventive, yeah a little mainstream, but still rockin', good timin', beautiful CSS. Love 'em!

heard this in borders last nite (from a distance) and thought it was some new cd by the B52s. what a surprise! donkey?? what i heard was really punchy and fun and well produced. the cut down guitar lines, like those of Ricky Wilson, are outright slashing! all in all, a good time is to be had.

CSS Reach for the Masses

After releasing their first (self titled) album, CSS in many ways was the epitome of indie music, because they were wholly unique. The electronica, reggae, and disco-inspired music featured raw foul-mouthed lyrics performed by the sexy voiced lead singer Lovefoxx. Understandably, indie fans had very high expectations for CSS leading into their sophomore effort.
Although the new album is undeniably catchy, CSS seem to have lost their mojo. The raw screeching lyrics and gyrating rhythms of the band's prior work are now replaced by vanilla lyrics and studio-smoothed beats. While the band's first album felt entirely spontaneous, 'Donkey' feels just the opposite: over-produced and deliberately aiming for a broader audience.
I enjoy this album but the stark originality of their earlier music is all but gone.
