Album Preview (Billboard) ››

 

This Brazilian electro/rock outfit scored a left-field hit last year when its song 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex' showed up in an iPod ad, after parent album 'Cansei de Ser Sexy' had already been out for a year. On its sophomore set, the group again trades in sexy dance grooves (the Gwen Stefani-ish 'Reggae All Night', retro synth-fest 'Left Behind'), chugging indie rock ('Give Up,' 'Rat Is Dead [Rage]') and uptempo pop maneuvers ('How I Became Paranoid', the Bangles-worthy 'Move'), all of which should sound great blaring out of hipster stereos this summer.

 

Popjustice also gave the album a quick 8/10. It all sounds very mixed and poppy. I hope for something good indeed I do.

Sounds great!

 

Can't wait to hear Reggae All Night. Hopefully there will be at least one slow song on the album, one of my favourite songs from their last album is Poney Money Honey, although it didn't actually make the album which was a shame.

'Rat Is Dead' is being released in some countries? So my friend told me [he sent me that and said it was the lead single]. But 'Left Behind' is MILES better. Not really been a huge fan of them in the past but that song is fabulous.
Rat is Dead was just a free song that band released on their website - it wasn't an official first single.
Ooh I love these guys I can't wait for the new album!

Left behind sound great! :o I thought Rat Is Dead was terrible.

 

Might look into downloading their new album now.

I don't mind Rat Is Dead too much, it's a bit of a grower. It just sounds a bit messy in places, probably equivalent to f*** Off Is Not The Only Thing You Have To Show.

There's an album sampler available from their myspace site.

 

From what I heard it sounds really strong. The first half of the album sounds quite rocky and the second half sounds quite electro. Wasn't really feeling Give Up or Beautiful Song but no doubt they will grow on me when I hear the full versions.

Just heard the album sampler as well, sounds good allthough nothing really hit me as amazing.

 

I have a MQ version of 'Left Behind' if anyone wants as well, It's a good song. :o

The CDQ of Left Behind leaked recently. Just managed to download it today and it's amazing - just had it on repeat all day!
Great song. Not a fan of CSS but this really is a tune and a half. You wouldn't believe how much better it sounds in HQ though

Donkey promo leaked yes indeed.

 

Edit: Lawlz jk just the first 30 seconds of each song repeated.

I am waiting for this album to be released sooooo badly, and either Left Behind or Rat Is Dead are gorgeous :heart: Rat Is Dead is still a lil better :kink:
