CSS: Donkey (Sub Pop) – Apparently São Paulo, Brazil, quartet CSS’s sophomore album is their attempt to cliff-dive into crossover commercialism. Needless to say, dives of this nature are inherently dangerous. It remains to be sees if the splash will be spectacular or fatal. The synths, snappy rhythms and sterilized chorus driven vocals have more sheen than a body-oiled beauty. Thankfully the sun drenched sand adds some saving grit. Good.
