COCOROSIE RELEASE Elevator Angels (EP)
CocoRosie featuring pianist Gael Rakotondrabe
Elevator Angels (EP) releases Friday March 8, 2024 - International Women's Rights Day - in tandem with an exclusive acoustic set featuring pianist Gael Rakotondrabe at Alhambra venue, Paris.
A call back to the lo-fi roots of CocoRosie, yet something entirely brand-new and refined, Elevator Angels (EP) invites a recognition of the cultural impact of CocoRosie’s music for decades. The five signature songs are composed of masterful poetry and timeless harmonies from sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady, and featuring renowned French pianist Gael Rakotondrabe to create a timeless selection from the CocoRosie repertoire over the past 20 years, including signature tracks "Terrible Angels '' from La Maison de Mon Rêve (2004), “Beautiful Boyz " from Noah’s Ark (2005), and “R.I.P Burnface” from Grey Oceans (2010).

RELEASE SINGLE ‘SMASH MY HEAD’ + VIDEO VIA MARATHON ARTISTS
CocoRosie, the sister duo Sierra and Bianca Casady, announce their 7th studio album Put The Shine On, which will be released March 13th 2020 via Marathon Artists.

The single “Smash My Head”, including a Bianca Casady-directed video is being released today as a taste of what’s to come.
CocoRosie about “Smash My Head”: "For us, our song "Smash My Head" is a running-on-fire cry from the teenage heart, an inner scream we never dared to let out. The song climaxes in an exaltation, an expression of ecstatic death. It journeys from a hard-knock desert childhood scene to a transcendent cosmic passing to another realm.”
Earlier this summer, CocoRosie first returned with a new Chance The Rapper collaboration “Roo” (co-written, produced and performed by CocoRosie) on The Big Day and they released their first new song in 2 years called “Lamb & the Wolf”. The single featured artwork by legendary theater director, visual artist and their frequent collaborator, Robert Wilson and came after the January 2017 single "Smoke 'em Out" (feat. ANOHNI).

COCOROSIE RETURNS
COLLABORATION WITH CHANCE THE RAPPER ON “ROO” FOR HIS NEW ALBUM THE BIG DAY
Today, Sierra and Bianca Casady, the sister duo who perform as CocoRosie, return with a new collaboration with Chance The Rapper. The track “Roo” is co-written, produced and performed by CocoRosie, as part of Chance The Rapper’s new album The Big Day.
CocoRosie is the music-based project of American cross-disciplinary performance artists Sierra and Bianca Casady. Their songs blend a myriad of styles and references from hip-hop to folk and opera with a focus on beat programming and production using found objects, children’s toys and other unique percussion to create a particular atmosphere of nostalgia and mystery. Taken as a whole, CocoRosie’s music is an ongoing psychologically intimate dialogue between the siblings. Each sister has multiple personae and vocal styles; Bianca delivers troubadourian-style-rap while Sierra often responds with ethereal tones while accompanying their voices on harp, piano, or guitar.
In their sixteen years as CocoRosie, the sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady have released six albums: Heartache City (2015), Tales of A Grass Widow (2013), Grey Oceans (2010), The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (2007), Noah's Ark (2005), and their first album, La Maison de Mon Reve (2004)

smoke 'em out
Today, we share a new song to inspire the weary-disappointed hearts of so many crest-fallen citizens. We just started working on a new album, but “Smoke ‘em Out” begged to be turned loose on the world now, as a means of participation during these turbulent yet invigorating times.
Joined on guest vocals by our fellow Future Feminist ANOHNI, “Smoke ‘em Out” welcomes the new character who will be occupying the White House with a mob of women and children armed with forks and knives. In the wake of this un-natural disaster, we feel a call to rise, shout, and burn the house down.
