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


CD Description

Major-label reissue of debut album from Sao Paulo indie sensations Cansei De Ser Sexy ("tired of being sexy"), who met on social networking sites, formed without being able to play a note and claim that the internet is their homeland. Their raw fusion of untutored, shambolic primitivism, punk energy, electronic noises and Latin American sexiness makes for ashort, sweet blast of far out pop music that sounds like nothing else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cascading Style Sheets? No, just tunes..., 6 Sep 2006
By E. Wright (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cansei de Ser Sexy (Audio CD)
I'm a sucker for a bit of foil-blocking on a CD cover so I bought this. And it's darn funky. Essentially it's a bunch of hot Brazilian girls and an old guy making electro-party tunes in the LCD Soundsystem stylee.

With songs like 'Meeting Paris Hilton' and 'Music is My Hot Hot Sex' it could all be a bit arty-style-posturing, but it's the sound and lyrics have a tongue-in-cheek hint of Har Mar Superstar about them. It's the kind of music you'd expect to hear at a particularly good Sonar house party.

Great for parties, put in on your stereo multi-changer with LCD, Hot Chip and Datarock.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bonkers Rock from Brazil, 4 Jul 2007
By Martin Warminger (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought I'd give this album a shot after seeing this Brazilian lot at Glastonbury where they put on a thoroughly enjoyable show despite the inevitable rain. And what a peculiar mixture it has turned out to be - a bit like them. CSS appears to be a consortium of female multi-instrumentalists with a token male on drums - except when he's playing keyboards and the lead guitarist has taken over on the drum stool. See what I mean?

The music is a similar melting pot in that it comprises a patchwork of rhythms drawing from 70s disco and 90s indie over some solid drumming and semi-rap vocals. A bit like you'd expect The Fall to sound if given a disco treatment and a female vocalist in place of Mark E Smith.

It's all a bit hit and miss but never less than enjoyable. Some of it like `Alala' and the fabulous `Off the Hook' is very good indeed where driving chunky electro pop melds with a decent tune. Elsewhere, it doesn't quite work, but nothing ever outstays its welcome so if you don't get on with any particular track, there's always another arriving soon.

Overall, it's a fun listen and an album I'm glad to own. If you fancy something a bit different and frankly, bonkers, give it a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars Original, fun and barmy, 18 Jan 2007
By Ms. D. A. O'neil (Dorset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was given loads of music for Christmas because I needed to update my CD collection and have only just got round to listening to it because I saw the fantastic video for Off The Hook on MTV2 and I just LOVE it!

It doesn't have to grow on you, it's not complex, it is immediate and exhilarating, the whole album is great and out there. It's totally addictive and cool and you should own this it will make you happy.
