Cansei de Ser Sexy – Donkey (or How to Produce Swedish Pop in Brazil)
Cansei de Ser Sexy (or just CSS) took the world of electro pop by storm a couple of years ago with their self-titled debut. Their music combined the latin madness of their origins (São Paulo) with electro sounds from Europe. The result was quite unique and we instantly loved them. Two years have past since then and they are back with their sophomore album Donkey, out on Sub Pop label on July 22nd.
We managed to get a hold of their album and gave it quite a number of spins during the weekend. The first thing that comes in mind when listening to the record is probably “This is CSS? No way…”. The band has traded their sexy crazy electro sound to move into more pop territory. To be honest, it sounds like they want to copy The Sounds or a dozen other Swedish bands, offering pop music with more rock than electro sound. And believe me, I truly love The Sounds (and even more The Knife) but if I want to listen to Swedish pop I don’t really need a band from Brazil for that. The whole album sounds like the CSS have sold out and let the producers mainstream their music in an attempt to gather even more radio time in the US. Unfortunately, this move may prove terribly wrong for a band that based their success on an alternative crowd, or perhaps I’m the only one thinking that this album is simply going to my trashcan.
