SISTERS BIANCA AND Sierra Casady, better known (maybe) as freak folk duo CocoRosie, offer up an otherworldly mix of vocals, strings, and sounds from children’s toys in their often haunting, undeniably original songs. The duo sometimes performs with longtime TSP fave, Antony of Antony and the Johnsons, but for many years, the girls didn’t see much of one another at all.
Then younger sister Bianca turned up for an unannounced visit to Paris-based Sierra. When Bianca’s stay turned into an extended recording session–in the tiny bathroom of Sierra’s Montmartre flat–the sisters’ first disc, La maison de mon reve was born. For a introduction to Cocorosie’s ethereal sound, check out their tracks “Terrible Angels” and “By Your Side”, and watch for their new CD, Grey Oceans, dropping this week.
