From Brazil, CSS is the first South American band Sub Pop has foisted upon the global marketplace. The title is Portuguese for "Tired 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 wild electro-rock. Quick, tightly-wound, unfastened, and supreme.

Reviews:
CSS stands for "cansei de ser sexy"-which means "tired of being sexy" in Portuguese and doubles as the name of the debut disc from these jumpy Brazilian electro-indie-pop-rock-whosiwhatchamacallitses.
