불손한 뉴-레이브 제너레이터! 세상에서 가장 대담한 ’걸’들, CSS의 아트-팝이 돌아왔다!
* 그녀들의 아트-팝이 돌아왔다! 생기 충만 소포모어작 - Rolling Stone * 즐거운 훅으로 가득, 전작보다 훨씬 흥미로움은 물론 - Observer Music Monthly * 매끈하게 다듬으며 고심한 앨범 - All Music Guide * 슬럼프는 일찌감치 내팽개쳤다 - NOW Magazine * 업그레이드된 멜로디센스 - Billboard * 거침없는 팝 펑크 찬가, 완벽하게 불손한 가사, 이로써 게임의 승자는 CSS - Prefix Magazine * 전작에 비해 매끈해지긴 했지만 엉덩이를 들썩이게 하는 비트와 맥박처럼 고동치는 베이스라인은 여전하다, 시끌벅적한 소동을 일으킬 준비는 이미 되어있다 - Hartford Courant
비욘세(Beyonce)의 "섹시 하게 살기 너무 힘들어요. (I’m Tired Of Being Sexy)"란 말에 태어난 밴드가 있다. 포르투갈어로 같은 뜻을 담고 있는 문장의 앞자리만을 따온 CSS (Cansei De Ser Sexy)가 그 주인공! 실제 클락슨스(Klaxons), 핫 칩(Hot Chip)과 함께 현재 뉴-레이브(New-Rave) 열풍 중심에 서 있는 CSS는 US 빌보드 역사상 가장 높은 순위에 오른 브라질 밴드의 영광을 누렸고 현재 서울 바닥에도 ’Let’s make a love and listen to death from above’ 티셔츠를 뿌려대며 그 섹시함을 만방에 자랑 중이다.
지랄 한 무더기 [Hunk of Shit!]
서브 팝(Sub Pop)을 통해 발매된 충격적 데뷔작 [Cansei De Ser Sexy] 이후 실로 2년 만의 신작이 발표되었다. 홈페이지를 통해 첫 싱글 ’Rat Is Dead(Rage)’의 무료 다운로드 서비스를 시작하며 증폭된 새 앨범에 대한 열기는 2008년 7월 모든 베일을 벗었다.(이미 일본에서는 7월 초에 라이선스 되었다) [Donkey]의 첫 인상은 보다 세련되게 다듬어진 야생마이되, 여전히 불손하고 재미있는 그들의 본성을 지켜냈다는 것이다.
첫 싱글 ’Rat Is Dead (Rage)’는 픽시스(The Pixies) 시절의 얼터너티브를 연상시키고, 두 번째 싱글 ’Left Behind’는 블론디(Blondie), 데비 깁슨(Debbie Gibson)을 연상시키는 80년대 뉴웨이브-팝의 멜로디 훅이 돋보인다. 여러 가지 소스를 찾아간 시도는 ’Give Up’, ’Beautiful Song’, ’How I Became Paranoid’, ’Air Painter’에서 지속적으로 이어지며 데뷔 앨범의 좌충우돌 에너지 사이 존재했던 팝 튠을 세련되게 변모하고 특유의 직선적인 가사를 함께 부각시키는 방향으로 나아갔다. 워킹 타이틀이 [Hunk of Shit]이었다는 사실을 확인하는 순간! 무척이나 CSS다운 이 문구처럼 2집 [Donkey]는 그야말로 자신감과 확신으로 가득 차 있다.
얼마 전 The Go! Team과의 미국 합동 콘서트의 후끈한 현장이 스핀(Spin)등 유수 매체에 모습을 드러내며 열기를 더해 가는 지금. 후지 록, 리즈, 레딩, 롤라팔루자 등 세계 유수의 페스티벌에 이어 유럽 투어까지 쉴 틈 없이 짜인 CSS의 2008년 스케줄은 이들의 신작에 대한 세계의 기대가 얼마 만큼인지를 증명하고 있다.

Oh my god it's so hot Oh my got it's so gold Oh my god I'm so messed up I don't know which way to go
Stars above try to guess where's my gin, where's my glass? All this mess comes from your ass F**k with us we are CSS
(chorus) We didn't come into the world to walk around We came here to take you out Come with us, we'll make a toast For this time about to come Don't mess my holiday ..4x
Oh my god it's so low Oh my god it's so high Ab-Fab, Claudia Ohanna Dry Martini crossed my eyes Ask the stars what they say Desperate living, Hairspray Baltimore with Tanqueray Live your life John Waters' way
(Chorus) We didn't come into the world to walk around We came here to take you out Come with us, we'll make a toast For this time about to come Don't mess my holiday ..8x
Patsies and Edinas High on Vitaminas Monday at the club drinking from the tub The day starts weekend style There's a piece of dirt in your smile Hold your body on your legs Your mouth is stuck to a thousand fags...
Stop, ok, you can press, you can push But it always will be the same, and you've waiting so long Anyway How does it feel to be free again?
I wanna fall in love again I want to feel the same old flame You know I really want to stay I have to go, it's just getting late
Check out the door, I'm not alright
Give up on this, don't give up on you Give up on me, don't give up on us Give up on me, don't give up on you Give up on this, don't give up on us
Nights are so long, fast from the days Drinking as a life time, wrapped inside a cage Magnification, tasting the sensations Body aspiration, tiny decorations
I wanna run to the milky way How many games we have to play? It's a new face, but it looks the same Just send me back to Amsterdam
And if you see me crying, see me begging, see my lying Alright now! And if you see me drinking, see me calling in the morning Alright now! Alright now! Alright now!
Give up on this, don't give up on you Give up on me, don't give up on us Give up on me, don't give up on you Give up on this, don't give up on us
Just waking up it's weird to say I feel I'm not still the same Blending on the coffee Laughing at the party Acting like as normal Feeling out the boredom
This time I won't make new mistakes And you'll forget who I am Everything changes in a day Now how reminds it's you I crave
And if you see me crying, see me begging, see my lying Alright now! And if you see me drinking, see me calling in the morning Alright now! Alright now! Alright now!
Life is just too serious, it won't be mysterious Life is just too serious, it won't be mysterious Life is just too serious, it won't be mysterious Life is just too short, you know what it costs ...X2
Baby, you've got me thinking About the things I left behind A suitcase in Helsinki And your things I wanna set on fire (set on fire)
I realized that you've been lying And no matter how hard I try I won't be able to forget this Cause this is very deep inside
Baby, what I left behind What I left behind Left Behind
So I will fly back to Helsinki and even stay there for a while Gonna get my things back Gonna get some fun then drink till I pass out I'm gonna jump onto the table and dance my ass off till I die I'm gonna hopefully forget you and quit those nightmares I've been having Every night, every day, it's the same, so hard to explain A million pounds won't be enough to make me stare back at your face
That's why I left behind Left behind What I left behind Left behind
Every night, every day, it's the same, so hard to explain A million pounds won't be enough to make me stare back at your face
Baby, you've got me thinking (x2)
Baby, you've got me thinking About the things I left behind A suitcase in Helsinki And your things I wanna set on fire (set on fire) I'm gonna jump onto the table and dance my ass off till I die And then I hopefully forget you and quit those nightmares I've been having

Fly high on the rug With the ones you know With the ones you love With the ones you trust
Ready the van the bus the plane Again and hear the sound Little air to breathe Little work to kill A nice table to seat A clean pillow to dream I feel the strength to ride Another place to extra hide It's better to break your back Than to break your heart
I want to go wrong, if we do it We can stop the time tonight Bring only bad ones You know you got it wrong It means you got it right..
Tellin' lies with stars Makin up a weird glory Young bosom dark lies Twisting my homing guide And I must try to resist For your watch they disappear All the records make interest All the voices talk to much All the photos you've seen War medals for someone like me like him like she like me like him like she Cause you'd better break your back Than make no excuse
I want to go wrong, if we do it We can stop the time tonight Bring only bad ones You know you got it wrong It means you got it right
I want to go wrong, if we do it We can stop the time tonight Bring only bad ones You know you got it wrong It means you got it right
Oh many times times times times We had the chance So many times times times times We had the chance So many times times times times We had the chance So many times, times times
I want to go wrong, if we do it We can stop the time tonight Bring only bad ones You know you got it wrong It means you got it right
Stars are fun she said with a beautiful smile As I looked above and stepped aside Astrology is not my cup of tea I’d rather go inside and watch some TV What about clouds I think you should give it a try But watching clouds is something you wanna do tonight I hope you understand it's been a bad week But it's not for me; no it's not for me
Maybe it's been so long I’ve been waiting Oh baby, just call it off or call me crazy
We walked inside and watched TV for a while The news crept me out the ‘x’ put me down I got so bored to death And then outside the bugs starting eating me up I felt so bad I looked up to the sky The stars the clouds, the moon, the beautiful light It all made sense but just for a while
But it's not for me; no it's not for me
Maybe it's been so long I’ve been waiting Oh baby, just call it off or call me crazy : Times like this picture perfectly Times like this, I’m nervous breaking And who’s got the nerves to let loose Times like this.... (Repeat till song ends)

Down your throat, I tickled around And then you cough me out, oh yeah, you cough me out I hid behind the curtains till you fell asleep again I just hope you understnad, I just wanna be your friend
Out on the street, inside a rubbish bin Or a garbage can, depends on where you live Oh, I live nowhere, now I'm a fly I fly around, I fly around
And you will see me, hanging around Outside your flat, inside your car, behind the chair Well, everywhere I'll be everywhere you are, just to let you know I've been watching you around You really oughta know
I fly around, I fly around I fly around, I fly around I fly around, I fly around I fly around, I fly around
