The five golden gals and a guy that cram in to São Paulos
CSS might feel tired of being sexy (Cansei de Ser Sexy, or CSS), but apparently not so much so that theyre willing to forgo album #2. That would just be silly given the popularity of their 06 self titled debut. So when it comes to the matter of a proper follow-up, the band will bring the snappishly titled
Donkey to fruition this July 22nd.
But before you think of drawing yourself a frown for the long wait that lay ahead, both Sub Pop and the band are offering a free, crack happy guitar track to whether the months that lay ahead. Rat is Dead, offered below, is a complete new wave screacher that really packs a pop
hardly a surprising phenomenon given CSS historical musical pedigree.
