Brazil's Cansei De Ser Sexi (the name translates from the Portuguese as "Tired of Being Sexy") sounds like Kraftwerk, the Sex Pistols, and the Go-Gos tossed with house music and mixed in a post-punk blender. With Sub Pop releasing the band's self-titled debut, CSS has already garnered plenty of indie rock cred, but it's the band's postmodern take on poppy, amped-up dance music--complete with surging beats, oozing synth lines, and sing-song call-and-response vocals--that will win over listeners. Titles like "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above," "Meeting Paris Hilton," and "Music is My Hot, Hot Sex" offer a cheekiness that adds to the album's charm.
