SISTERS CocoRosie are harder to pin down than a greased hog on new LP Tales Of A Grass Widow. The globetrotting American siblings have a real European influence to their work - not least in their vocal stylings which sound like a mutant cross between Sinead O'Connor and Bjork, both distinctive and compelling. And their music, well, it's like a bastard cross between freak folk and brooding urban - like the soundtrack to a robot lost in a forest, or a wandering goblin in a metropolis. You get the idea, it's odd. But still it's oddly [...]

Hello everyone! The photo above is a crane I saw at Canary Wharf in London. ( download the high res version ) Not sure why I picked it today, it just felt right. Things have been a mess around here lately because @DorothyJS and I have been travelling so much. So my apologies for the weak performance. Sometimes work, travel, and having fun get in the way of running this website. Back in the day when only a few of you we're listening it didn't matter. But now that there are thousands of people listening each [...]
Words by Lee Adcock Cohesiveness has never been a strong-point for those quirky sisters of CocoRosie . From the shambling, archival ruin of their debut to the spotty slush of Grey Oceans , Bianca and Sierra have cultivated their veneer of artsy weirdness more attentively than their actual musicality. Eschewing traditional instruments for shiny bells and electronic gizmos, they’ve somehow managed to earn the label “freak folk”, despite their recent bent toward misplaced hip-hop beats and flashy pop stylings. Unfortunately, their latest LP, Tales of a GrassWidow [...]
photos by Amanda Hatfield "I am in a band with my sister called CocoRosie. We sing and dance and play instruments. In one sentence I can't seem to sum up anything. We are about to release our fifth album. We have been a band for 10 years." [ Bianca to The Independent ] Cocorosie will head out on a month-long European tour later this month (dates below), but first they played a one-off hometown [...]
I genitori da piccoli ci impongono di non sporcare in giro, di non disegnare con i pastelli sui muri. Chissà se è successo anche a Sierra e Bianca Casady , sorelline terribili altrimenti note come CocoRosie . A giudicare dal variopinto e multiforme circo Barnum di emozioni musicali che da anni portano in giro, si direbbe che quella cara vecchia regola l’abbiano più volte disattesa e con estremo piacere. Prima incensate poi bastonate dalla stampa di settore, continuano imperterrite il loro percorso mescolando influenze diverse come se le critiche non le riguardassero o non le toccassero [...]

The ability to realize that there is more happening in a song than what we realize upon first listen, makes songs that much more beautiful. I find that this is always the case with the music that CocoRosie produces, because there are so many elements to their music that one might not realize immediately. The first sounds that enter the ears are beats, but if you listen closer, you'll notice that they are produced by a mouth. This is something that sets them apart, making their live performances that much more special. Their new album, Tales of A [...]
Youth Lagoon’s new album “Wondrous Bughouse” is out now and already being hailed as one of the best records of the year thus far for its emotive, expansive take on gorgeous, shimmering psychedelic pop, situating it neatly in the same sphere as classics such as Mercury Rev’s “Deserters Songs” and Sparklehorse’s “Good Morning Spider”. Watch the recently unveiled Tyler T. Williams video for 'Mute' here: In addition, Idaho native Trevor Powers has also been slowly and steadily developing a reputation as a compelling live act [...]
Idaho cosmic-soundscaper, Youth Lagoon has announced that he'll play co-headline show with bizarro pair CocoRosie this summer.

Cocorosie : After the Afterlife - Video

Cocorosie "After The Afterlife" "After The Afterlife" has been on repeat on my computer for a few weeks and now there's a wonderfully surreal music video to accompany it. The Mike Basich directed video was filmed in Hawaii and although it features a monster on screen with a song about what happens when you die as the soundtrack it still seems like one of CocoRosies less ridiculous music videos. "After The Afterlife" is off the experimental folk sister's upcoming album Tales of a Grasswidow [...]
