CocoRosie

CocoRosie + Special Guests

“Certainly unconventional: intimate, dreamlike and crackling. The haunting sounds of harps and acoustic guitars broken up by glitchy beats, the noise of Speak' n' Spell and one of those cans that moos like a cow when you up-end it. Bianca's voice, reminiscent of Billie Holiday in its cracked blues vernacular, weaves in and out of Sierra's softer, more operatic tones. But if you're not scared by its oddity it's the sort of music you'll fall in love with”. Matt Walton, BBC Noah's Ark Review 2005

CocoRosie were formed in Paris in 2003 by half-Cherokee sisters Sierra Casady and Bianca Casady. Sierra, the older of the two, was born in Iowa, and Bianca was born in Hawaii. Their mother nicknamed them Rosie and Coco respectively, from which their musical act takes its name. They released their second album, Noah's Ark, in 2005. The album includes collaborations with Antony Hegarty from Antony and the Johnsons, Devendra Banhart and French rapper Spleen.
