NOTE: Two things, the last group fucked up and listed album name first and band
last, the band is CSS, and 2. Tracks 1 and 2 on this release do not appear on
the other release, which was probably self-released or something. Enjoy a retail
label rip.
From Sπo Paulo, Brazil comes CSS, the first South American band Sub Pop has
foisted upon the global marketplace. Cansei de Ser Sexy, Portuguese for "Tired
of Being Sexy," is improbably, unbelievably and nearly eponymously their debut.
It is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths ("Alala") and a come-on
of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing ("Art Bitch,"
"Patins"). It is equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new,
transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It careers full speed into dance
territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with
wild electro-rock. Pretension? Absent. Friction? Probable. They are the
un-pretension: unfinished, exposed, and throwing all they have right at you. It
is quick, tightly-wound, unfastened and supreme. Not a sneer but a giggle. To
paraphrase from the Portuguese: "Not only music, but a new way to live with it.
An unfinished group that, unlike preserving itself until getting 'to the point,'
was bravely showing off, turning everything into style." Fashion. Art. Design.
Cinema. Panties thrown and received. Micro shorts and dirty legs. How does it
happen? It happens like thisà
