Another Form of Relief

When I first started Another Form of Relief, I really didn’t anticipate a lot of the music that I’ve ended up writing about on here. Since I’ve started this I’ve included a lot more electronic music than I intended, have flirted on the outskirts of rap (albeit of the nerd variety) and now I’m going to write about some Brazilian disco. Of course, none of this is in any way supposed to be a negative thing. My point here is that this blog has opened me up to a lot of music I never usually would have listened to, and that can only be a good thing.

Regarding the aforementioned Brazilian disco, we have Cansei De Ser Sexy (’Tired of Being Sexy’ if you’re curious), a sextet from Sao Paulo who are making some rather great music. Now, I’ll be honest and admit that this idea didn’t seem all that appealing. I also came rather late to them, only discovering them when their video for ‘Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above’ was featured last week on Youtube. I didn’t think that much of it at the time, but it got stuck in my head enough for me to find more of their songs, and I’m hooked.

Now the music here isn’t particularly challenging, all drums, synth and the kind of bored vocals you’d imagine coming out of Karen O. if only she would calm down a little. It’s rough, noisy and to the point. Which all adds up to a hell of a lot of fun.
