Brazil's CSS release their follow-up to 2006's 'Cansei de Ser Sexy' ('I got tired of being sexy'). They've toured worldwide a number of times with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, and Diplo, and played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork, and Virgin to Reading, Benicassim, Roskilde, and beyond. 'Donkey' is tough, street-ready, and recreates the frenetic energy of their live shows. Equal parts dance party, urban circus, and out-and-out chaos.

From Brazil, CSS is the first South American band Sub Pop has foisted upon the global marketplace. The title is Portuguese for 'Tired Of Being Sexy' and the sound is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths and a come-on of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing. It's equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It goes full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with [ read more ]
