CSS Artist Snapshot:

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. Their full-length debut, CANSEI DE SER SEXY, with its dancy art-rock drew favorable comparisons with Har Mar Superstar and LCD Soundsystem, and was picked up by Sub Pop. Their follow-up steered towards a more Sonic Youth sound.

Review

Q (p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Their debut album title means Tired Of Being Sexy, but these arty punks sound anything but....Catchy and fun."
Q (p.116) - Ranked #89 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006."
Alternative Press (p.206) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The sextet's passion for design, fashion, art and cinema fuels the dance-o-tron sensations..."

Title Note

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 will win over listeners. Titles like "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above," "Meeting Paris Hilton," and "Music is My Hot, Hot Sex" offer a cheekiness that adds to the album's charm.
