Biography

Paris, France (2003 – present)

CocoRosie began in Paris, France and formed by Sierra Casady (Rosie) and Bianca Casady (Coco) in 2003. Sierra and Bianca Casady are North American half-Cherokee sisters. Sierra, the older of the two, was born in Iowa, and Bianca was born in Hawaii. Their mother nicknamed them Rosie and Coco, respectively, from which their musical act takes its name.

In 2003, Bianca was growing restless and decided it was time for a change. Leaving her apartment in Brooklyn to travel the world, she ended up at Sierra’s apartment in Paris.

Over the course of the next two months, the women spent nearly every waking hour in Sierra’s bathroom, chosen as the most acoustic and isolated room in the apartment. Soon, they had completed both a hip-hop recording (never released) called “word to the crow” and their proper debut album La Maison de Mon Rêve.

Originally, La Maison de Mon Rêve was only intended to be distributed within a close circle of friends. However, by 2004 the lo-fi album had been released on independent label Touch and Go Records, who had obtained a copy of the CD and had uncharacteristically pursued signing the artists. Since the creation of their first album, the Casady sisters have been virtually inseparable.

    @theboredone How could you possibly recommend skipping an album that features Rainbowarriors, Promise, Werewolf, Animals, and Raphael.

    I'm actually wondering why those good tunes they played live were not included in this record. Where's - the awesome - We Are On Fire? And Tears For Animals isn't as good as Tearz For Animals. I'm a great fan of their work but they've gone wrong this time. 4.5/10

    I think the new album has some quality tracks but as a whole i'm not feeling as much. Gravediggress and Child Bride are great though.

    New album is really interesting. It didn't leave a big impression on me the first time i heard it, sadly but after a few more listens, it really really grows on you. I think a lot of these songs are going to sound excellent live! Can't wait to see what they do with them. Bianca's voice on Child Bride is simply mesmerising. Forever dreaming with CR by my sideeeeeeee <3

    By seeing the amount of CocoRosie's plays you've got, I can surely tell you you haven't even seen half of their magic. Try to get to know them before building such statement.

    @ptaszynka - Getting the same vibe over here. It's not even a life-affirming, joyous, or awesome sort of eccentric, either - it's just off.

    I've listened to few songs of CocoRosie and I have an impression that all the girls do is just trying to be weirder and weirder. And it's a shame that instead of focusing on the music, they focus on doing all this show. Being eccentric is just profitable and it's pretty hard to find good American music...

    The babes, The Guns, The waste, The punks. I don’t need no human friends, The cars, The wars, The shopping malls. I can leave you all behind, And I will chase my brother’s shadow, Leave my own hung in the closet, The stars that I could hardly see, I know you are looking down at me...

    Ghosthorse and Stillborn used to be my least favourite by them, but now Grass Widow has taken its place. La Maison, Noah's Ark and Grey Oceans are masterpieces

    "Just skip Ghostborn" ahem, Ghosthorse & Stillborn, and I couldn't agree less. Ghosthorse is probably their most tender, emotionally engaging record. Ghosthorse and Grey Oceans are pretty much two perfect works. The new record is very good, but I think you can tell they recorded it in a smaller period of time to the previous ones. Not a bad thing though

    AOTY to me and probably their best (close to Noah's Ark) :)
