Gorilla vs. Bear has a new track from CSS, the impeccably styled Brazilian dance-attack band that cranked out one of last year’s best singles, “Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above.” On this BBC radio-session excerpt, the group covers L7’s Clinton-era classic “Pretend We’re Dead,” which is further proof that the ’90s alt-rock revival is upon us; by next week, we fully expect to hear Amy Winehouse covering Elastica covering Wire.
