Bianca Casady, one half of CocoRosie, is opening up a new art exhibit in Italy under the title, La Combat Spiritual. Presented by Galleria Patricia Armocida of Milan, the display will open on Wednesday, November 26 at 6:30 PM and run until January 24, 2009.

The gallery describes the collection as the following:

“For this exhibit, she will present drawings, watercolors on paper, collages, videos, and a site-specific installation.

The title of the exhibit, La Combat Spiritual, symbolizes the struggle for spiritual freedom and personal myths. In her most recent works, the artist elaborates the androgynous beauty of fairies and angels in order to explore the possibility of a time that transcends patriarchies and humanity.”

HUGE IN-DEPTH CocoRosie feature in the New York Times!!!

CocoRosie — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:47:58 -0000

CocoRosie featured in The New York Times Magazine

We’re pretty psyched because yesterday, July 6, The New York Times Magazine featured an exceptional, in-depth article about CocoRosie. It's an extensive piece that details the history of Bianca and Sierra Casady, including their enigmatic, eccentric musical and familial lineage. CLICK HERE to read.

Also, a quick reminder: the physical release of CocoRosie’s "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me" limited-edition 7" picture disc is tomorrow, July 8. You can get your hands on a copy by ordering it directly from your favorite online retailer.

Bianca & Sierra get busy!

Most people would be content with promoting a new single and video, doing some tour dates, and making plans for a future full-length album. But, then again, most people aren’t like Sierra and Bianca Casady of CocoRosie. In the next two weeks, the sisters have separate non-CocoRosie related events that we thought were worth mentioning.

On Saturday, June 7 at 8 PM Sierra Casady and pianist/violinist/cellist Gael Rakotondrabe – in collaboration with French artist Loris Gréaud – will put on an exclusive musical interpretation of the French opera “Cellar Door” libretto. The performance will be held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), The Mall in London, UK. You can find out more information right here.

Beginning the week after, Bianca Casady will have her art exhibition shown at the Wall House #2 in Groningen, Netherlands. The display will open with a special performance/BBQ/tea party on Thursday, June 12 from 8 – 11 PM. [Side note: unique art + earl grey + bratwurst w/ mustard, no ‘kraut = good times.] Following the opening event, the exhibition will run from June 14 until August 3, viewable on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 PM until 6 PM. Also, in conjunction with the art showing, Foundation Wall House #2 will be publishing Bianca’s book, Le Combat Spirituel. For additional information on the Wall House and its events, go to the website.

And finally, just a friendly reminder: CocoRosie’s digital single/video for "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me" is available right now on Touch and Go Record's site (right here). You can also preorder the limited-edition picture-disc 7” (available 7/8/08) at that same link. Enjoy.

CocoRosie has an exclusive interview on RCRDLBL today...

It's been a while since we checked in on Sierra and Bianca Casady, the sisters who form the experimental folk duo CocoRosie. We got super into their 2007 record The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (two tracks from which, "Rainbowarriors" and "Miracle" we are giving away today) and were anxiously awaiting new material from the twosome. Lo and behold, "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me" reared its newborn head in the form of this lush video, and we fell in love again. The track was inspired by the sisters watching traditionally dressed Muslim women play on a sunny beach, and it's a whirlwind of chimes, xylophones, and (somewhat brilliantly) processed vocals--kind of like what would happen if Joanna Newsome were produced by T-Pain.

We caught up with Bianca and Sierra via a quick email interview, and this is what they had to say:

NEW SINGLE! God Has A Voice, She Speaks Though Me

CocoRosie — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:36:58 -0000

Coming to us at what feels like a breaking point in humanity, God Has A Voice, She Speaks Through Me intends to act as a hopeful light and a reminder of simple joys. With a springtime dance-floor sound, CocoRosie narrates a suicide story that takes place in a tender and elated moment of innocence, focusing on releasing and returning to Mother Nature.

CocoRosie’s fascination with combining things that clash continues to drive their process in both song and production. Their current creative environments range from hi-fi studios to simple field recordings (i.e. dolphin and whale sounds). Some inspirations to their hearts at the moment are Cher, Beethoven and finding true love’s kiss.

Bianca and Sierra are currently working on the follow up to their last full-length, The Adventures Of Ghosthorse & Stillborn, slated for release in 2009. This new work will continue in the vein of God Has A Voice…, exploring spiritual dance music, driven by oceanic and apocalyptic themes.

Until then, the girls will continue their endless summer journey, one that has taken them to beach side studios around the world, where folk musicians from Madagascar and Reunion Island gathered to lend their hands in creating the future lives of CocoRosie.

Incredible CocoRosie performance online now!
