CSS spilled “Hangover,” the first taste of their upcoming Planta LP, back in April, and now the Brazilian electro-funk unit have paired the festive single with a video choreographed by Toni Basil (yes, that Toni Basil). The clip, co-directed by Basil and Matt Dilmore, opens with a few office drones watching CSS perform on a television. Immediately after the synths, guitars, and horns kick in, a dance party breaks out as a handful of white collar slaves let loose. Rare to see so many people thrilled to take part in a “Hangover.”
The São Paolo outfit also announced plans to tour North America in support of their impending LP. Cansei de Ser Sexy will drop Planta, the Dave Sitek-produced follow-up to 2011’s La Liberación, on June 11. Soon after, on June 14, CSS will begin a 23-date trek across the continent, making stops in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Toronto, Montreal, Massachusetts, New York, Louisiana, and Texas.
