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 theres 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

Advantages: Very, very good pop songs! Disadvantages: The album starts on a bad note.

There are more highlights coming from the aggressive 'Artbitch' to the pop of 'Off The Hook' and 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex'.
Indie Rave. The latest term derived from the NME to describe a new type of music, in this case, dancy indie pop music which may cause some neon clothing disasters. Of course, it is a horrible term, but it has produced some excellent albums in the past year.

Opening track 'CSS Suxx' is a throwaway intro, but a dancy one, with it's repetitive line of the title over a splash of guitars and drums.

There are more highlights coming from the aggressive 'Artbitch' to the pop of 'Off The Hook' and 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex'.
Yet the thing that really makes this an album is, first track and tiresome 'Fuckoff Is Not The Only Thing You Have To Show' aside, there isn't really anything in the way of filler, with a lot of songs on the CD a potential future single. It is an album full of exciting rhythms that injects a much needed shot of sex and fun into the sometimes over serious business. It is the sound of a band having a great time writing and playing music, and trying to have as much fun as possible. And good for them, as they've released one of the best albums from 2006, and written a lot of great pop songs on the way.
Advantages: Original, witty, energetic, cool...I could go on. Disadvantages: I want more!
CanseiDeSerSexy are a Brazilian sextet whose name actually means "I got tired of Being Sexy" in Portugese. They must have got tired after they finished recording this album, because it has some very sexy beats!
Signed to Seattle-based label, Sub Pop, this album has a very edgy, cool sound to it, reminiscent of Blondie and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Full of energy and fun, it makes you want to dance until you drop. From the cheerleader-like intro, 'CSS Suxx,' you get the feeling that you're in for something big and special, and you are. From the hilarious lyrics in 'Art Bitch,' to the gorgeous and sensitive 'Fuckoff Is Not the Only Thing You Have to Show,' there is a song for everybody. If you're feeling a little bit more chilled, head towards the latter half of the album where you'll find the melodic and jaunty 'Alcohol ...
Advantages: Different, full of energy with some bad ass tracks Disadvantages: Inconsistent overall but there is definite talent that is beginning to emerge
CSS are a sextet (four girls and two guys) that hail from Sao Paulo whose music is a mish mash of electro indie punk wiith the sweet sounding voice of Lovefoxxx who sings disgustingly rude lyrics in such a nice way. In fact them being a sextet is appropriate, going by the lyrics in the songs, which are basically simple, fun and full of exuberance
There are a lot of stand out tracks on their debut album (on the SubPop label) but also some non too special tracks. However, it is one of those albums that grows on you the more you listen and I believe this is a group that will be a phenomenon in the club circuit, as they release more albums, eventually crossing over to the mainstream, where bragging rights will go to those he discovered them from their first album. Oh and they are supposed to be amazing live

Album Notes
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.
Album Reviews
