Product Description

Major-label reissue of debut album from Sao Paulo indie sensations Cansei De Ser Sexy ("tired of being sexy"), who met on social networking sites, formed without being able to play a note and claim that the internet is their homeland. Their raw fusion of untutored, shambolic primitivism, punk energy, electronic noises and Latin American sexiness makes for ashort, sweet blast of far out pop music that sounds like nothing else.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Cansei De Ser Sexy, to give them their full name (it translates as "tired of being sexy") are five girls and one guy from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Don't expect indigenous sounds of the shanty town, though: Cansei De Ser Sexy is proof that disco-punk is now an international currency, eleven tracks of sassy organic dance inspired by the likes of LCD Soundsystem, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Daft Punk, and Sonic Youth - not to mention the giddy social whirl of parties, art shows, and sweaty nightclubs that seem to be a key part of the CSS experience (one song here is called 'Meeting Paris Hilton'). Thankfully, what's here is far more stoopid fun than studied cool: 'Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above' is a pulsing hipster mating call eerily reminiscent of Tom Tom Club's ace '80s hit 'Wordy Rappinghood', while 'Artbitch' finds frontwoman Lovefoxxx running off at the mouth about the shallowness of creative culture ("I have no portfolio/ And I only show where there's free alcohol"). It doesn't always work, the occasional track (see the ska-tinged 'Alcohol') coming across as a tossed-off in-joke - but regardless, Cansei De Ser Sexy is packed with ideas, and pretty much a blast from start to close. --Louis Pattison

This is a great album, really different and fresh, I love every track on here and recomend it to everyone

Not up to standard
It's a mad album but, 6 months on, I find myself ignoring the large majority of tracks. "Let's make love and listen death from above" is still a great track, but the other ones sound a bit immature, like schoolgirls sniggering at the dirty words they can say. Not a sexy album at all.

Best Band Ever
Alright just my opinion but honestly i only know 1 person who dislikes it not including the bad reviews but ive had it for 6 months and listened at least once a day.also kudos to the extra portugeese lyrics do you know where to find them? Also they live up to thier name as a internet band with various music videos on various site's.Anyway buy it.IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!
