Oh how did I love Cansei De Ser Sexy 's self-titled debut record back in 2006 . It was the beginning of indietronic getting big, little guerolito was heavily addicted to it. Years have passed, one more album ( Donkey ) was released and now CSS are back in business with a third record. Their new album La Liberación will see its release on August 22 via V2 . Below you can find a first song called "Hits Me Like A Rock " [...]
Okay, Okay... So, we are on a Beyonce binge. But, that's only because the new material is up to par and, ultimately, good. This is one of the few uptempo tracks on the album. It's one of those big concert openers with a strong bass line. Correct us if we are wrong, but something about it sounds very Brazilian in nature. It's a sturdy buil-up kind of dance-pop song that will leave you lip-syncing in front of the mirror. Hey, it might also make you pick up the hairbrush and pretend it's a microphone. Did we give out too much [...]

Two months ago Brazil's most fêted indie act ever, Cansei de Ser Sexy, showed up in most of the high-end publications around wearing self-made Sharpie-written T-shirts that unveiled the title of their forthcoming third studio album, La Liberación (out August 22nd). Recorded at their own studio in Sao Paolo, the 11-track album also marks CSS' first release for V2 Records.

В 2011 году редакция блога Big Echo подготовила первый сборник пляжной музыки, получивший рабочее название «Лето 2011» и экспортный подзаголовок «Summer 2011». Не предназначенная для широкой продажи, она должна была стать звуковым сопровождением для летнего отдыха гостей нашего города. Как выяснилось, сборник так и не увидел свет. Сегодня мы переиздаём эту «прозападную» работу, «пропагандирующ ую буржуазные ценности» и «идущую по пути, лишенному творческих перспектив» в новом свете. Лето 2011 by bigecho Послушать её целиком и скачать можно на этой странице или в [...]

Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it [...]
