It was one of those moments when you realize a person you thought you knew well was capable of being someone else entirely. It's a frighteningly confusing experience to say the least, and in the case of Cibelle , Brazillian songstress and opener for CocoRosie , I was convinced who I saw on stage that night wasn't her at all. The night began like a dream of losing your self somewhere vaguely familiar, and in the end being led back home by two mystical goddesses. Bear with me, kids. [...]
Μετά από μια ολόκληρη εβδομάδα με πραγματικά μαγικό καιρό για ελληνικό καλοκαίρι αισθανόμαστε αναζωογονημένοι και γεμάτοι ενέργεια. Δροσούλα, συννεφάκια, βροχή! Η θάλασσα μπορεί να περιμένει ως το επόμενο Σαββατοκύριακο, χαλάλι για τέτοια δροσιά και για ύπνο χωρίς ανεμιστήρα με τις μακρινές βροντές για background... Και παρ'όλο που, όπως δείχνει και το προηγούμενο ποστ, βρισκόμαστε σε νοσταλγική διάθεση μουσικά (τα '90s κυριάρχησαν στις σαββατοκυριακάτ ικες playlists μας για κάποιο μυστήριο λόγο), φρέσκα πράγματα σαν το υπέροχο καινούριο των CocoRosie φέρνουν κι άλλη δροσιά στο σπίτι. [...]
Source: slyApartment I was trying hard not to post music from Cocorosie , mostly because it tends to be 'too alternative' for people in general. With their new album however comes a song that's merged with enough electronic beats that it may even appeal to those who wouldn't go anywhere near 'acid folk' or the likes. If you actually like "Fairy Paradise", imagine it with instrumentals and consider buying the album . Cocorosie - Fairy Paradise

We haven't heard much from the Brazilian electronic/folk/awesome chanteuse Cibelle in quite some time, but now that she's dropping this new disc called Las Vênus Resort Palace Hotel (her third album) and is set to tour the west coast with Bianca and Sierra aka CocoRosie, we're pretty stoked for what's next. The now-London-based artist recorded [...]
Souterrain Transmissions , a small Berlin-based label featuring releases by indie favorites like Annuals and CocoRosie, and the online magazine Tonspion just released a smattering of sample tracks as an online-only download. You'll definitely want to give "Hands in Pocket" by Laura Gibson a few listens, it's a great tune for walking around on a sweltering day like today. And if you're partial to violin backed vocals, skip right to Musée Mécanique's unreleased track, "Aesacus". Preview a couple tracks below or download the entire album here .
New music from Deastro from his new Mind Altar EP , Wildbirds and Peacedrums Iris EP , SALEM's new album King Night , a Good Natured remix by The Aspirins for my Children (hear full EP here ), a new Lily Allen-esque pop number from Cocknbullkid , a Coco Rosie remix , a track from Sweden's Suck Shaft and a May68 remix by Acid Washed .

Over at stereogum there is a terrific op-ed piece on Cocorosie, focusing primarily on the love certain folks have for this band & the glaring omission of their work from much mainsteam music press. Antony (of Antony & the Johnsons) had this incredibly on point, feminist analysis: "I have concluded that the reception of CocoRosie in the US reflects the denial of a greater feminist issue, an ecological issue, a racial issue, a spiritual issue. If we cannot face that our collective brokenness in these areas is the rockbed of our crisis as a virulent species, [...]
Aske - Indigo (2010) I'm kinda glad we haven't gotten over painting our faces neon yet. There is much more to learn about ourselves in synthesizers and bonfires on the beach. Madness is the only thing that can convince our brains we're better than they think. CocoRosie - Lemonade (mp3)
I've always had a love/cringe relationship with CocoRosie ; seeing the Casady sisters perform at Boston's newly made-over Royale did little to resolve my conflicting feelings. What draws me to the band is their ethereal blending of drum and bass, hip-hop, piano and creepy vocals into both infectious dance numbers and introspective, borderline-classical compositions. What makes me cringe is Sierra Casady's overpowering operatic digressions, the smattering use of Auto-Tune, their intense integration of fantastical and freaky imagery, et.al. So I bit my nails through the first few songs [...]
As highlighted by my recent interview with the Casady sisters, CocoRosie's fascinations with spirituality, nature & innocence may be a tough pill for some neophytes to swallow. As CocoRosie's popularity grows, it's increasingly difficult to find someone with a casual opinion on their avant-garde pop creations. Friday night's performance (their largest headlining NYC gig to [...]
It's a little bit too early for a Lyric of the Day recap and too soon for an album art post - but it is way overdue for a song list. I haven't had time to sort through my emails in the last few weeks, so Fresh from the Post might have to wait a while. What I had time for though, was to browse through the Free Album download section on Amazon . I am admittedly, a sucker for free stuff. Of course, I know you guys are too because, what other reason would you be lurking [...]
I know I seem obsessed, but CocoRosie has to start this off. An amazing interview piece about their new album that I got in the mail got me searching for an embeddable version on Youtube and, though I couldn't find it (hit up the link above), I did end up watching a bunch of pretty amazing CocoRosie videos. This was my favorite. Them doing the hard techno jam off Grey Oceans in a simple, charming, living room kind of way. I find it absolutely fantastic how they make such a sparse set-up seems so full of [...]
Earlier today, I chatted with CocoRosie. Enjoy our full exchange below: 1. How did Argentinian culture help shape Grey Oceans? WE ARE NOT DRAWN TO THE IMAGERY OUTSIDE OUR WINDOW. WE DRAW FROM OUR PAST AND FROM OUR FANTASIES. CHINA AND INDIA HAVE BEEN A SUBTLE INGREDIENT IN THIS RECORD. 2. What's the inspiration behind [...]
In case you missed it, CocoRosie released their fourth album, Grey Oceans, on Sub Pop a couple weeks ago. I've been a big fan of the weirdness these sisters provide since I first stumbled upon their previous album, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn. Now just looking at the title of their last album, you [...]
lemonade - coco rosie (i fucking heart coco rosie ) simple graces - delorean (spanish.awesome.) bless the waves - the deer tracks (sound kinda like imogen heap, yeah?) b - iamamiwhoami (?) flight of the feathered serpent - fuck buttons (epic noise) tonight's hero - futurecop!

Mercury Prize Winners Klaxons returned this week with the first drop of new material since 2008 - but whilst "Flashover" is a pretty captivating listen, I can't help but think that firstly, this is just more of the same, and secondly, that they've taken the whole "sci-fi" theme a bit seriously, and dragged it out a little long. If the chaotic side of the band is what you're after, then they've excelled and expanded, but if you were hoping that during the two years since Myths of The Near Future was overplayed into obscurity, they'd been honing a revolutionary new sound [...]
Hello friends. We Dicks are back with another round of Dick Talk for you. This time, the album we are putting under the microscope (or would stethoscope make for a better metaphor?) is CocoRosie's latest, Grey Oceans . The new release, which dropped May 11th on Sub Pop , blows my mind, simply put. I can't keep up with the stylistic changes from track to track, yet I don't find myself put off by the diversity, either. One could plausibly describe the album as Jad Fair meets Pink doing a record equally inspired by [...]
Major Lazer & La Roux Present: LazerProof – Major Lazer & La Roux For everyone who thought that Diplo and Switch were just lazing and blazing around Jamaica, you were probably right. But, it seems they were up to a little something else too. Major Lazer has teamed up with English electropop duo La Roux to present their newest mixtape, Major Lazer & La Roux Present: LazerProof. La Roux front-woman [...]
