Last year, CSS' (Cansei de Ser Sexy, which is Portuguese for "I got Tired of being sexy") single "Music is my hot hot sex" was a major hit thanks to it being on an iTunes commercial. "Let's make love and listen to Death from Above" (a song that brings back many memories *grin*) was my introduction to the band in 06, but I had completely forgotten about them until I saw the iTunes commercial that introduced them to a nationwide audience here in the states. I, along with many of my friends, became quite obsessed with "Music is my hot hot sex", and I still listen to it from time to time (I never really grew tired of it). I recently listened to their newest single, "Rat is dead (Rage)", while shopping at a friend's music store in Los Angeles. I can't say that I really love it. The music requires the vocals to be stronger than they are. It isn't as catchy as the single that brought them fame in the states, but it's still danceable as hell. With an apparent Pixies influence, it's still pretty good. And even with all of that, I'll still be anxiously anticipating the July 22nd release of their latest album, Donkey, here in the states. The album's name, NME says , refers to themselves and the fact that their old management scheduled a punishing tour for them.
Here's the music video. It's pretty ridiculous.
