CSS New Album Title: Donkey
Photo by Nilina Mason-Campbell
Wow, that CSS album we mentioned when we ran down their tour dates a week ago was even more imminent than we realized.
Donkey, the sophomore platter from the Brazilian quintet, is due in stores in July, and in the Great Album Title Hall of Fame right about now. The disc was recorded in the band's native São Paolo during a four-month respite from their ever-exhaustive touring plans.
UPDATE: WE'VE GOT A RELEASE DATE! JULY 22 ON SUB POP!
Those looking to hop on this Donkey a little early have but a few days to wait. On April 28, the song "Rat Is Dead (Rage)" will be available on their website for download free of charge, and it will also hit the radio.
The band kick off that sizeable tour of theirs May 5 in Cardiff, Wales.
