CocoRosie

Combining folk, digital, lo-fi, and globe-trotting music elements right into a exclusive and frequently poignant appear, CocoRosie includes the Casady sisters, vocalist/guitarist/harpist Sierra and vocalist/percussionist Bianca. Both sisters got an early like of music that they pursued because they was raised, albeit in various methods: Sierra started operatic vocal schooling while she is at senior high school, while Bianca sang and had written tracks but kept these to herself. That’s, until she reconnected with Sierra, who became a member of Bianca at her Paris house, and they began playing and saving tracks jointly. The fruits of their labor, La Maison de Mon Reve, premiered in springtime 2004 by Contact & Proceed and was pre-dated with a string of times in NY with Devendra Banhart, the Gena Rowlands Music group, Fights, and Ratatat. Their second recording, Noah’s Ark, which presented cameos by Devendra Banhart and Antony of Antony & the Johnsons, found its way to fall 2005. 2007’s The Activities of Ghosthorse and Stillborn was a far more polished but nonetheless eclectic effort. The next 12 months they released the solitary God Includes a Tone of voice, She Speaks Through Me, which also made an appearance on 2010’s Gray Oceans. Inspired from the sisters’ moves through European countries, Australia, and SOUTH USA, the album premiered by Sub Pop. In 2012, CocoRosie choreographed a dance creation, Nightshift, and an opera, Spirit Existence, for the Donau Event in Krems, and performed in the Meltdown Event curated by their longtime friend Antony. For 2013’s Stories of a Lawn Widow, among the duo’s most concentrated set of tunes, the Casadys caused maker Valgeir Sigurðsson and collaborators including Antony. On 2015’s Heartache Town, the sisters came back to an easier, acoustic-based strategy, eschewing electronics and only musical playthings and antique devices.
