I think it's the fact I think there was fun music before CSS and there will be afterwards and a lot of places seem to be suggesting that they just reinvented the idea of disco, when I see that as having been done before. It's not an anti-pop statement, it's a dislike of the way in which the music is dealt with. Rather than saying 'well this is quite ace' it seems to go for 'it's the second coming!!!1one!' when, to my ears, they sound a lot like a huge number of other things around at the minute. I dunno, I just don't think they're that great.
Mixmag was all over them for awhile. I think it was Mixmag, anyway, might have been something else one of my flatmates left in the bathroom and the NME goes mental every time Lovefoxx sneezes, as far as I can tell but I do only read it every six months or so. Various bits of stuff that fall out of newspapers have been drooling all over them, too, although I guess those aren't really music publications per se.
I find the Brazil thing vaguely patronising, more than anything else. Like, 'oh my god, someone in Brazil wrote a pop song' -surely not! Possibly this is a gross misinterpretation of what's going on and I by no means think it's what everyone who likes CSS thinks but I find it really quite annoying.
