Thoughts:
Sisters Bianca “Coco” Casady and Sierra “Rosie” Casady have been creating weird and eclectic music for nearly twenty years. Their style is basically Americana with electronic instruments and has been classified as New Weird America. This is their first album in five years. I find it hit or miss, or maybe it’s just that CocoRosie is better in small doses. Listening to the entire album all the way through and their weirdness starts to feel like an act. I particularly don’t like it much when the Casady sisters rap, but I do like their punk rock vocals. Nevertheless there are some good moments on this album when they achieve their peak fun and creativity.
