MagnetJul 17, 2013The Dave Sitek-produced Planta keeps things light and easy. [No. 100, p.53]
-
Jun 24, 2013The tracks crackle and shimmer with an abandon not heard since their debut.
-
Jun 7, 2013They’ve used the time to come to terms with the loss of Cintra and create a sonic identity beyond his input, and it turns out that they didn’t really need him, and, just maybe, he was stalling their progress.
-
Jun 10, 2013This kind of loopy, poetic imagery is carried throughout all of Planta, and helps make it one of CSS's most creatively fertile and enjoyable pop organisms to date.
-
Alternative PressJun 7, 2013The Brazilian party inciters still diversify deftly on their fourth full-length, Planta. [Jul 2013, p.100]
-
Jun 7, 2013Planta is the sound of a band rejuvenated, a diverse yet cohesive effort that tightens the sonic screws without losing any of the warmth and identity they’ve managed to create for themselves.
-
Jun 11, 2013Throughout, CSS evinces a half-step remove from their transplanted environment.
-
Jun 10, 2013Planta feels lightweight; not much really catches the ear or imagination.
-
Jul 1, 2013Unfortunately, on Planta, they only seem half-awake.
-
Jun 10, 2013Even among these highs, the pairing of Lovefoxxx and Sitek has resulted in a few highly combustible selections which burn themselves out quickly and with little lasting effect.
-
MojoJul 10, 2013CSS's party-forever commitment is faltering. [Aug 2013, p.91]
-
Jul 8, 2013Sitek lends the band some nice slow-burning electronic atmosphere, but the songs lack hooks and sometimes shift into cringey faux-reggae.
-
Jul 8, 2013Their music is punky, clubby, intensely annoying and other qualities their fans will describe as "fun," but therein lies the band's integrity: They tend to stay out of the middle of the road.
-
Q MagazineJun 17, 2013It's hard not to think that CSS's moment has passed. [Jul 2013, p.101]
-
Under The RadarJun 13, 2013Some of the songs on Planta begin as dark as the worst in Interpol's catalog. It's really no fun, and the tone makes it a lot harder to choke down the lyrics. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.86]
-
UncutJun 7, 2013A collection of vanilla indie-pop that paints a portrait of a group clinging on rather than pushing forward. [Jul 2013, p.73]
-
Jun 7, 2013The whole thing just feels so lightweight, as if the remaining members of CSS are struggling not to play their instruments but to get any magic out of them.
-
Jun 12, 2013The Brazilians’ fourth is a tuneless, tiresome rabble of a record that does just that [make you feel glum].
