The five member Brazilian art-music collective CSS is back with their sophomore release, Donkey. Album drops July 22nd on Sub Pop, and we just received this promo video for their first single, "Rat is Dead." Anyone familiar with the preceding Cansei Der Se Sexy LP will immediately note the shift toward, um, we’ll call it musical maturity for now — less on the electro party do-as-you-please style, more on the vocally structured, new wave-sounding, “my name is Lovefoxxx and, yes, I actually sing tip.” But until we hear the entire album, whether or not the new CSS is a better CSS remains open to debate. Though Lovefoxxx is looking as cute and fashionably eccentric as usual, donning a glimmering white one-piece with some type of tutu fabric for the shoulders a la boa style, topped off with a waist length tassel or two down the chest. Gotta give her points for that.
