Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Cansei De Ser Sexy, to give them their full name (it translates as "tired of being sexy") are five girls and one guy from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Don't expect indigenous sounds of the shanty town, though: Cansei De Ser Sexy is proof that disco-punk is now an international currency, eleven tracks of sassy organic dance inspired by the likes of LCD Soundsystem, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Daft Punk, and Sonic Youth – not to mention the giddy social whirl of parties, art shows, and sweaty nightclubs that seem to be a key part of the CSS experience (one song here is called 'Meeting Paris Hilton'). Thankfully, what's here is far more stoopid fun than studied cool: 'Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above' is a pulsing hipster mating call eerily reminiscent of Tom Tom Club's ace '80s hit 'Wordy Rappinghood', while 'Artbitch' finds frontwoman Lovefoxxx running off at the mouth about the shallowness of creative culture ("I have no portfolio/ And I only show where there’s free alcohol"). It doesn't always work, the occasional track (see the ska-tinged 'Alcohol') coming across as a tossed-off in-joke - but regardless, Cansei De Ser Sexy is packed with ideas, and pretty much a blast from start to close. -–Louis Pattison
Description
Brazil's Cansei De Ser Sexi (the name translates from the Portuguese as "Tired of Being Sexy") sounds like Kraftwerk, the Sex Pistols, and the Go-Gos tossed with house music and mixed in a post-punk blender. With Sub Pop releasing the band's self-titled debut, CSS has already garnered plenty of indie rock cred, but it's the band's postmodern take on poppy, amped-up dance music--complete with surging beats, oozing synth lines, and sing-song call-and-response vocals--that willwin over listeners. Titles like "Let's Make Love and Listento Death from Above", "Meeting Paris Hilton", and "Music isMy Hot, Hot Sex" offer a cheekiness that adds to the album's charm.
