Cansei De Ser Sexy

18 December 2006

Not far to go now! At number 4 in my list of the best albums of 2006 is Cansei De Ser Sexy’s eponymous debut album.

Pop. Fun. That’s what this album is all about quite frankly – it’s a good old fashioned party album. Pretty much every song on the album is an indie-pop classic; coupling electro enthused indie with bouncy, upbeat lyrics. Lovefoxxx – the lead singer – is just a pure bundle of energy; you couldn’t ask for a better vocalist.

The song you will have heard by them – Let’s make love and listen to death from above – apart from name-checking one of last years best bands is definitely one of the tracks of this year:

Live, C.S.S. are simply stunning. Even though they seem to have almost continual gear trouble they have so much stage presence that they could probably still be excellent through a power cut. They were certainly one of the highlights of 2006.
