- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Like nothing else to have emerged from 2006 (and still going full throttle),
it is with a mountain of critical acclaim behind them, and fast becoming "as
unstoppable as next week" (NME), that Sao Paulo 6 piece CSS release their
latest single 'Off The Hook'.
Having blazed a steadily widening trail across Europe's (unanimously sold
out) venues and press since the original release of the band's debut album
('Cansei de Ser Sexy') in July 2006, and their potential/appeal seemingly
multiplying by the day, CSS sit alongside any new band you'd care to name as
one of the great hopes for 2007. Peerless to many, they capture something
wholly unique not to mention lacking in pretension, despite the mounting
press attention, and fluttering of industry eyelids. Musically, theyÆre
something else, mashing together electro, punk, pop (in large quantities) and
rock with a measure of both playfulness and reverence befitting a bunch of
Brazilian creative misfits.
'Off The Hook' is the latest single to be taken from the band's acclaimed
debut album. It's signature CSS driven by deceivingly basic, yet near-perfect
pop guitar riffs, at its core equally celebrating and deriding pop
sentiments. "Why is it we're standing so still, people gonna think we're
statues / Silence is disturbing me, people talk but I don't hear / I'm off
the hook...You're right, this is really fun/ I never felt this dumb before"
Lovefoxxx repeats in her endearingly broken accent. Ridiculous in it's
vacuousness, but still somehow wholly intoxicating, this track is emblematic
of pop culture in it's finest hour.
