I was at a party and this song came on, and it’s the best. Cansei de Ser Sexy (named after a Beyonce quote that she “got tired of being sexy”) were a Brazilian group you were either a fan of or at least heard played in Zune commercials. I completely missed a reunion tour last year and that is a bummer!
I always thought the Death From Above they were talking about were DFA but on closer inspection of the music video, it is indeed, Death From Above 1979 they are listening to while making love.

Cansei De Ser Sexy. Their song “Music is my Hot, Hot Sex” is iconic, and I remember hearing it in an iPod commercial. Everything about CSS is so fun and playful, from the lyrics to their live performances.

I want music to be sexy, I love sexy music. I love sex in music. I want music to have sex in it. I like it when people show skin, I like it with sexy men and women with microphones. I like hot lyrics about fucking on the beat and metaphors, puns or whatever where the beat is the sex and you can fuck to the bass. Dancing and bodies grinding together all that. Hot people, Sexy Music, none of that ironic shit.

OK so basically this was their year. As I am sure the following years will also be. The thing about Snow Strippers is that they’ve put out a crazy amount of music in the last few years, and it’s consistently way too good and dynamic. So What If I’m A Freak had the sample heard around the world (FUN FACT IF I ACTUALLY KILLED MYSELF YOU COULD GET ARRESTED FOR THAT) and I mega enjoyed listening to it full volume bass blasting in the passenger seat (don’t drive) of a car. Sounds so good in a cute guys car… sometimes I wonder if you like it when I’m dying for it

I’ve posted about Chanel Beads a few times on onrepeat.substack.com as one of the bands popping off in Brooklyn and beyond right now—a collaboration between musician Shane Lavers, vocalist Maya McGrory (Colle) and experimental instrumentalist Zachary Paul. The sound is a result of manipulated strings and something called “fake jazz” which I can’t describe but sounds right.

Beak> has been around for some time now, featuring some of Bristol’s finest talents, including members of Portishead. They came on my radar when they produced the debut Anika album many years ago. This is pure CAN and that’s not a bad thing to be!

Jonnine Standish, one half of the long-running Australian moody, atmospheric post-punk band HTRK, also makes solo stuff that I’ll let her bio describe: “Skeletal rhythms slink and echo through dimly lit streets framed by fragments of guitar, bass, breath, keys, scrapes, and haze.” HTRK inspired a lot of bands I’ve featured lately, like aso, Astrid Sonne and Acopia
