CocoRosie
The luminously lovely indie folk-tronic duo CocoRosie consists of the Casady sisters, vocalist/guitarist/harpist Sierra and vocalist/percussionist Bianca. Both sisters had an early love of music that they pursued as they grew up, albeit in different ways: Sierra began operatic vocal training while she was in high school, while Bianca sang and wrote songs but kept them to herself. That is, until she reconnected with Sierra, who joined Bianca at her Paris apartment, and they started playing and recording songs together. The fruits of their labor, {^La Maison...[more]

A deceptively innocent, yet eerily twisted, new album from Bianca and Sierra Casady as CocoRosie. Sierra sings and plays guitar and flute; Bianca sings and does percussion (which includes rattling things, making things squeak, shaking a gold chain belt). Together they present twelve luminously haunting songs, recorded in a tiny apartment in the 18th District of Paris during the spring of 2003.

The Adventures Of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, the third ventricle of the CocoRosie liturgy, represents another stri [ read more ]

After hearing Noah's Ark, any concerns about CocoRosie becoming too tasteful or straightforward after the widespread critical acclaim for their debut album, La Maison de Mon Reve, can be put to rest. If anything, the album errs in the opposite direction: alternately rambling and hypnotic, it's much more somber and insular (despite the presence of such kindred spirits as Devendra Banhart and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons) than the duo's subversively angelic-sounding debut. {^La Maison de [ read more ]
