While I'm on this streak of French, I might as well run with it until I find a new theme to write to. Cocorosie is a duo of sisters Coco and Rosie, whose real names are Sierra and Bianca. These two American sisters came from a turbulent home, where they were seperated as children. By now you're probably wondering where the French part comes in... Well, Sierra went study opera at the Paris Conservatory, while Bianca studied Linguistics and Sociology. Bianca grew impatient with her life and watned to travel, so she searched for her sister and decided to reunite with her. They spent the next couple of months in Sierra's bathtub, recording music and produced an album which they called La Maison de Mon Reve.
Cocorosie - Good Friday
This track is the fourth track off of that album and was also the first song I have ever heard by the band. I accidentally stumbled upon this song, while I was looking up new releases from one of my favorite record labels, Touch & Go, home to bands like Killdozer, Big Black, Slint, Pinback. Touch & Go heard the album after it was released by the duo and decided to rerelease it for them.
Cocorosie is also said to be associated with the New Weird America movement, which is basically folk music with some modern music elements such as noise, distortions and whatnot.
And just because I'm getting back into this band, I'm going to post a bonus track for all of you readers out there.
Cocorosie - Candy Land
