CocoRosie

CocoRosie is a duo comprising sisters Bianca (Coco) and Sierra (Rosie) Casady. As of 2016, they have released 6 full-length albums, the most recent being 2015’s Heartache City. Since their early work, they have been associated with the likes of Devendra Banhart and Anohni, and a 2008 article from the New York Times Magazine placed them in their relation to these and similar artists:

The music of CocoRosie (the band’s name is an amalgam of their mother’s nicknames for the girls) is most often categorized by critics as “freak folk,” placing the two sisters in a new wave of 20-something singer-songwriters like Devendra Banhart or the harpist Joanna Newsom, who have revived the ’70s culture of homemade authenticity with at once more wholesomeness and more joyous perversity than their elders.

The sisters are known for their unconventional compositions, their intricate, often dizzyingly cryptic lyrics, and their ethereal vocal delivery.
