On its second studio album, 2008's DONKEY, the Brazilian dance/post-punk act CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) dials down its confrontational pop-art attitude ("Meeting Paris Hilton" from its self-titled Sub Pop debut), but keeps churning out beat-heavy tunes. A kinder CSS, perhaps, but not necessarily a gentler one, as best evinced on fierce tracks such as "Left Behind" and "How I Became Paranoid," where bold synth stabs are gamely met with searing guitar lines. Frontwoman Lovefoxxx and company do find time for a somewhat tender moment, on the light, cheekily titled "Beautiful Song," though even that tune can't help but descend into a Talking Heads-like rhythmic workout.

Audio Mixer: Mark "Spike" Stent.

Recording information: Trama, Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Photographers: Luiza Sá; Adriano Cintra.

CSS: Carolina Parra, Luiza Sa, Lovefoxxx, Adriano Cintra.

Personnel: Adriano Cintra (vocals, bass guitar, background vocals); Adriano Cintra (vocals, background vocals); Lovefoxxx (vocals); Luiza Sa, Luiza Sá (guitar, keyboards, cowbells); Carolina Parra, Carolina Parra (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Ana Rezende Dos Anjos (guitar, keyboards).

Rolling Stone (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Their second album is long on exuberance and short on pretension: 'Jager Yoga' banks on a catchy shout-along chorus and stabbing electro-riffs, and throughout, CSS liven up their art pop with guitar spills and gritty keyboards."
Spin (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "DONKEY is a bluntly assertive, drunk-in-the-afternoon, neon-stretch-pants-on-inside-out party record for the un-self-serious set."
Alternative Press (p.162) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "'Jager Yoga' is fired-up electro-rock windmill-kick and the synth-pop highlight 'Left Behind' manages to be both melancholy and a party jam."
CMJ - "The youthful vibrancy of CSS morphs into a more jaded outlook here..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he glossy synth sounds of 'Move' are as '80s as a lace fingerless glove, while 'Give Up' updates 'Rock Lobster' for YouTube cred..."
Blender (Magazine) (p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "DONKEY is harder rocking and occasionally more earnest....Their ear for melody has developed..."
Clash (magazine) (p.126) - "[C]ontaining just enough unabashed fun....'Reggae All Night' manages to groove along whilst never sounding remotely like anyone from Jamaica..."

On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation. Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, even when the music is less than mopey, gives him away as a goth at heart ("and the ravens are leaving the tower/make your peace"). However, at the end of "Price of Gas," when he proclaims "I can tell you how ...

In The 7th Moon, The Chief Turned Into A Swimming Fish And Ate The Head Of His Enemy By
Kasai Allstars In The 7th Moon, The Chief Turned Into A Swimming Fish And Ate The Head Of His Enemy By CD  (2008) Digipak

Donkey album
CD $12.19  Audio Samples
The third volume in Crammed Disc's excellent Congotronics series is as wild, sophisticated, and truly exotic as its predecessors (the title alone, In the 7th Moon, the Chief Turned Into a Swimming Fish and Ate the Head of His Enemy by Magic, should reflect this). The Kasai Allstars are based in Kinshasa and form a collective of about 25 musicians from five different bands from the region who all represent different ethnic groups. Over time immemorial, some of these intersecting groups have been in conflict with one another as each has its own culture and language. In other words, assembling this supergroup was no easy task, but musicians of all cultures tend to think differently than most people: the expansive spirit of adventure often trumps prejudice. These players include not only instrumentalists, but ten singers and dancers as well. Some of these bands -- Lusombe, Madimba Tandjolo, Dibua, Basokin, and Masanka Sankayi -- have appeared on the two previous Congotronics recordings on their own. The music on this volume is as surprising as it is different from the other Congotronics volumes. These musicians have to adapt instruments, scalar harmonics, singing styles, and even language in order to be able to work together. Add to this the uses of amplification and modern production. That said, they not only invent rhythms and melodies but also play their traditional styles with one another. The players use instruments familiar to all Kasai cultures like the likembe (thumb piano), lokombe, xylophone, and the tandojo as well as the electric guitar (which acted as a substitute for the more traditional lusese tetrachord). The results of this fusion can especially be heard on"Kafuulu Balu," "Mbua-a-matumba," "Analengo," and "Mpombo Yetu." The culture clash that comes across on this glorious volume reflects the strident effort of all of these tribes to maintain their identity against the encroachment of Christianity in the villages that allows these instruments only to be used in the playing of gospel music. The pagan dances, parties, and ceremonies of the tribes have effectively been all but completely stamped out in the remote villages of Kasai. Therefore, this is urban music, from the heart of the city where the influence of the church is far less prominent. The Kasai Allstars, therefore, like the Tinariwen and many other groups, play music of resistance. But never did resistance sound ...
