As the sophomore set from a promising young band possibly destined for greatness, CSS' forthcoming  album Donkey is carrying the weight of a lot of expectations on its (figurative) shoulders as is. But, if Stateside fans of the Brazilian quintet act fast enough, their Donkey could come bearing an even heavier load (physically, not figuratively).

The set-- due July 21 in the UK from Warner, and the next day in the States on Sub Pop-- is available for pre-order through the Sub Pop webstore, and those who get on that before this coming Tuesday, July 22 will receive a three-song bonus CD-R sporting two tracks not to be found on Donkey, as well as a demo version of the album's "I Fly".

CSS are on the road through September.

Bonus disc tracklist:

01 Hit & Run
02 Blackwing
03 I Fly (demo)
