Off The Hook/ Poney Money Honey

This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Bringing a bit of Brazil to your living room!!!  Here's the South American CSS with their new 7" on Sub Pop called Off The Hook. A jabbing rocker with a female touch without all the testicular and testosterone cock route.  Sounding a bit like the Blood Red Shoes, it's got  passion and style and there's something really catchy to the intonation in her voice that draws you in. B-side is a laid back blues swinger that's got a Velvet Underground vibe to it. Jolly very nice.

OVERVIEW: With a mountain of critical acclaim behind them, and fast becoming “as unstoppable as next week” (NME), Sao Paulo 6 piece CSS release their latest single ‘Off The Hook’ on Feb 26 2007. CSS sit alongside any new band you’d care to name as one of the great hopes for 2007. Peerless to many, they capture something wholly unique not to mention lacking in pretension, despite the mounting press attention, and fluttering of industry eyelids. Musically, they’re something else, mashing together electro, punk, pop (in large quantities) and rock with a measure of both playfulness and reverence befitting a bunch of Brazilian creative misfits. ‘Off The Hook’ is the latest single to be taken from the band’s acclaimed debut album. It’s signature CSS driven by deceivingly basic, yet near-perfect pop guitar riffs, at its core equally celebrating and deriding pop sentiments. Ridiculous in its vacuousness, but still somehow wholly intoxicating…this track is emblematic of pop culture in it’s finest hour. With extensive touring in ever-enlarging venues (as part of the NME Awards in February as well as their own headline shows across Europe in Feb and April), the re-release of their album, and Summer festival appearances amongst other things cemented on the horizon over the coming months, enthusiasm for this phenomenal band shows no signs of waning in 2007. Word of advice: get yourself a Brazilian.
