COCOROSIE: THE NOMADIC SISTERS

Cocorosie: two American born sisters who spent little time together growing up, meet up suddenly in Paris in 2003,  start making music, and travel all around Europe, spending most of their time in Paris, Buenos Aires (where they team up with multiplatinum studio engineer, Nicolas Kalwill), and New York, and make sweet, sweet music AKA their new album, Grey Oceans.  This new studio album was made in 6  recording session with Kalwill at this renowned local Buenos Aires studio called, Panda.

The album's first single, "Lemonade", pieces together an assortment of elements including the sisters' characteristic simple piano-driven melodies with sporadic, stale-sounding drum, and melancholic lyrics. But what is best is their unbelievable vocal prowess; their whispery, yet childlike pitches; their voices, our only guide on a journey through their chaotic culmination of sounds, that they call sounds.


With much attention being paid to their newest album, don't forget to check out their others, especially Noah's Ark, which I actually have on repeat right now. Be sure to check out the album titled track "Noah's Ark" and "Beautiful Boyz" below:
