“Move” and other body-beckoning songs off CSS’s second set sound like the musical new world order Bernard Sumner and company might have envisioned in the ‘80s. They just never would’ve thought it’d come from an emerging enclave like Brazil or from pop-culture-savvy women like CSS vocalist Lovefoxxx. For those who missed their selftitled debut, CSS, aka Cansei de Ser Sexy, play ultra-cool dance party anthems filled to overflowing with liquid-smooth synth lines. While that might place them alongside several retro-reaching scenesters these days, or even amidst the likes of The Sounds, new songs like “Left Behind” should solidify them as an indie, sex-centric equal to ageless electronica act Republica. Plenty of hot, hot stuff here to finish off the summer.
