Release Notes:
Formed in 2003 in Sπo Paulo, Brazil by a group of art-damaged,
pop culture omnivores with an abiding thirst for good times,
CSS is, among a great many other things, the first South
American band signed to the overrated Sub Pop label of
Seattle, Wash. CSS's debut full-length, Cansei de Ser Sexy ("I
got tired of being sexy" in Brazilian Portuguese) was released
in July of 2006, and the band was nearly immediately, and
pretty fairly described by The Guardian (July 21, 2006) with,
"àthey sound like an unlikely, brilliantly wrong fusion of Tom
Tom Club, dance culture and the Fall."
In the time since Cansei de Ser Sexy came out, CSS has been
very busy. They've toured around the world a number of times,
with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, Diplo,
played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork and Virgin, to
Reading, Benicassim, Roskilde, and beyond. Vocalist Lovefoxx
showed up at #3 on NME's 2007 "Cool List" (which is a step in
the right direction anyway). And, their song "Music is My Hot,
Hot Sex" was used in a worldwide iPod Touch ad in late 2007,
driving the song, nearly a year-and-a-half after its release,
to become the highest charting single by a Brazilian band in
the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Produced in Brazil by the band's own Adriano Cintra and mixed
in Los Angeles by Mark "Spike" Stent (whose credits include
Madonna, Bjork, Massive Attack, U2, M.I.A., and Arcade Fire),
Donkey is tough, street-ready, and recreates the frenetic
energy of their live shows. And really, with CSS the live show
is the thing. Equal parts dance party, urban circus, and
out-and-out chaos, the band's unaffected, unbridled joy in
performance is for real and for you. Ride the Donkey!
