Sub Pop to release Cansei de Ser Sexy in the US | Summer Tour

First brought to us by bloggers by likes of music.for robots and Suckapants, Cansei de Ser Sexy’s debut LP will finally find a home in the US via Sub Pop. If you happened to miss it the first time around, download their incredibly catchy number Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above, it won’t be long before this track receives a remix…Diplo maybe? Stream the entire album here.

“CSS’s Cansei de Ser Sexy, or “Tired of Being Sexy,” is their debut for Sub Pop. It is equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It careers full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with wild electro-rock. Pretension? Absent. Friction? Probable. They are the un-pretension: unfinished, exposed, and throwing all they have right at you. It is quick, tightly-wound, unfastened and supreme. Not a sneer but a giggle.”

A US tour has been scheduled for this summer and if the Portuguese to English translator I used was correct, Diplo is supposedly going to accompanying the group for their first tour of the states.

An initial Los Angeles date for Friday August 11th has been scheduled. Check the entire tour routing on one of Cansei de Ser Sexy member’s Fotolog page.
