Product Description

Brazil's CSS release their follow-up to 2006's "Cansei de Ser Sexy" ("I got tired of being sexy"). They've toured worldwide a number of times with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, and Diplo, and played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork, and Virgin to Reading, Benicassim, Roskilde, and beyond. "Donkey" is tough, street-ready, and recreates the frenetic energy of their live shows. Equal parts dance party, urban circus, and out-and-out chaos.

Customer Reviews

B52s redux?
heard this in borders last nite (from a distance) and thought it was some new cd by the B52s. what a surprise! donkey?? what i heard was really punchy and fun and well produced. the cut down guitar lines, like those of Ricky Wilson, are outright slashing! all in all, a good time is to be had.

Energetic party music
I like this disk. I saw one reviewer compare them to Blondie... OK, but I thought that they sounded more like No Doubt - fun party music.

This is supposed to capture their "live" electricity, and I look forward to them getting up to the Philly area some time.

Makes me sad
For those who loved CSS because of gritty guitars, culturally sarcastic lyrics, and hot hot sexiness, this album has none. Okay, maybe some. However, listening to their last self-titled album now brings the sadness of knowing what they became.

I mean really, two songs on this album are called "Beatiful Song" and "Believe Achieve". "Let's reggae all night" is catchy enough to make my playlist. The low points of this album sound like an underproduced Britney Spears song, with lyrical content to match.

I want my witty guitar-driven CSS back.
