Cansei De Ser Sexy Biography

"Cansei de Ser Sexy" is the first full-length album by the Brazilian group CSS. It was released on October 9, 2005 by Trama in Brazil, where it reportedly sold 5,000 copies and failed to chart. It was released internationally on July 11, 2006, on the Sub Pop label, and re-released in early 2007 by Warner. A limited edition version of the album had a CD-R included. The purpose of this was that the buyer could burn a copy of the album onto the CD-R to give to someone else as a gift, paying homage to the effects of digital technology upon the dissemination and popularization of music. The album received mainly positive reviews (it was featured in UNCUT's list of the 50 best records of 2006 at position #18, NME's list of the 50 best records of 2006 at position #5 and Q's list of the 100 best records of 2006 at position #89). Despite the reviews, it failed to chart in the USA. The song "Alala" and video for "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" have been included preloaded on the Zune multimedia player, released in November 2006. The songs "Alala" and "Off the Hook" are featured in Forza Motorsport 2 and FIFA 08, videogames for the XBOX 360. The song "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex" was featured in a Zune advertisement in 2006 and an iPod touch advertisement in 2007. The album won the 2007 PLUG Independent Music Award for Best Punk Album.
