A few tracks have emerged from CocoRosie's upcoming album, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn. The Casady sisters still sound incredibly unique, but this new material seems a bit more accessible, or at the very least a bit more grounded. (I particularly appreciate the lines, "Now, everybody wants to go to Iraq/We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack" from "Japan.") I'm hoping the rest of the album follows a similar line because, well, I'm a bit turned off by the excessive weirdness of some of their older material. One of the real strengths that I hope they really capitalize on is Sierra's incredible operatic vocals, which does seem to be happening on the leaks.
Here's a set that provides both a nice musical intro to the group, and also reveals a quite a bit through various interview segments. It was recorded on VPRO Radio in Amsterdam on May 13th, 2004. CocoRosie play locally at the Warsaw on April 20th.

I just discovered Cocorosie today. I LOVE THEM! Thx for posting their stuff!
Thankyou so much for posting this, I saw them on Sunday night and it was the best gig ever (review on my blog) - I completely agree about the fact they should always have made the most of Sierra's operatic skillz. I love the new album, it exceeds every expectation. Good work!
