New CSS Video - "Left Behind"
"Left Behind" sees CSS continue to put on a glossier face on record. The video sees them put on glossy faces on camera. Synergy! Actually, having the CSS crew wear masks and shake asses fits the song well; "Left Behind" is about getting over someone via party therapy -- "I'm jump up on the table and dance my ass off 'til I die" -- which is just as fake a face as any you'll see in the video.
That's the second video from Donkey -- see the one for "Rat Is Dead (Rage)" here -- which is out 7/22 via Sub Pop.
UPDATE: No, it's not the CSS crew dancing around. In fact the CSS crew had next to nothing to do with the vid, save soundtracking it and stamping it "Official"; this was entirely the work of one Renata Abbade, who directed, produced, conceived, starred-in, danced, and wore masks all by her lonesome. Check out her site here. Nice work, Renata.

visual ideas run out of steam, but the song is pretty killer.

Meh, a lil boring
Score = 2
I'm guessing you didn't make it through the whole video because "the CSS crew" is actually one woman who isn't in the band.
Score = 0
This is yet another so-so video. It is interesting sometimes...and boring at the same time. Sorry.
Score = 0
I think it's a pretty awesome video. It's kinda the triumph of Youtube aesthetics over the main stream music video genre. It's funny, unpretentious and very daring if you think it's a band going through the "second album curse" so-to-speak and choses to release a video without actually appearing in it!! Come on guys!! It's brave, daring and very ironic- very CSSesque... hahahaha I love it!!
Score = 1
kind of a generic song.
Score = 1
the song is okay but the best song on the album is "give up"
Score = 0
