CSS made their name with kitschy 80s inspired electro fun. With that vibe established, they've put themselves in a bit of a corner as witnessed by their new track, "Rat is Dead" from their upcoming album Donkey.
Instead of 80s dancefloor cheese, the band has dived straight into the realm of Belly. Remember Belly? Probably not, because they were a forgettable early 90s alt-rock band. That's right, CSS has left the club lights behind and gone for a layered guitar girl-rock sound.
Is it good? Well, it isn't bad...it's just plain boring. I've listened through a few times now and there just isn't anything there to get excited about. The song goes on without much real energy, Lovefoxxx's vocals seem tired and listless. The guitar work seems put on instead of genuine.
Unfortunately, there's not much here to like. Check it out yourselves, here.
