CSS will release the second single from their acclaimed album 'Cansei de Ser Sexy', through Warner Bros (Sire/Sub Pop) on Monday May 14.

'Let's Make Love' was originally, somewhat quietly released in the UK back in August 2006 when the band had yet to make their live debut over here. Anticipation surrounding the Brazilian sextet had begun to spread like wild fire amongst bloggers, industry folk, and portions of the media over the Summer of 2006, but they were nevertheless still, as yet, largely unknown to the masses.

'Lets Make Love' is a joyous mash-up of styles, with a guitar riff and pulsating bassline so infectious, so instant, it hurts. Much has been made of the fact that Lovefoxxx wrote the lyrics of this track so that her then favourite band (Death From Above 1979) could google themselves and stumble across a then-unknown CSS and their tribute to the now-defunct duo. But the end result way overshadows that detail. A Tom Tom Club-esque 80's electro vibe bleeds into synths, and Luiza's 'ROCKOUUUUT' guitar bridge, all expertly bound together and overlaid by Lovefoxxx's sultry spoken vocals. This is a stupidly good pop song. Live, it forms part of the band's onstage finale. It's opening bars are a moment in live venues, dance clubs, electro nights, indie discos, front rooms, and bedrooms up and down the country, when the room goes nuts.
