Cansei De Ser Sexy - Cansei De Ser Sexy

Coming from Brasil, Cansei De Ser Sexy got famous firstly in the U.S. where they were signed with Sub Pop after being the subject of a strong hype built around them. Consisting of five girls and one man, this is one of the most hedonistic projects to be heard in recent times. Even their name is part of this philosophy, as it translates to "Tired Of Being Sexy" and is a quote taken from a Beyoncé interview. With nothing really new in their sound (mainly influenced by electro-rock and disco-punk) it's their post-modern attitude that makes them special, combining a good sense of style and coolness with a strong dose of humorous and ironic lyrics, making the whole package sound fresh and infectious. Warning: exposure can cause strong addiction. (7/10)
