With the release of Heartache City just around the corner, CocoRosie have shared another wonderful cut from the album, ‘Tim And Tina’. Listen to it below and grab the album when it drops on September 18th.

We had already heard ‘Heartache City‘, the first taste from CocoRosie‘s upcoming sixth studio album with the same name. The freak folk sister duo are teasing the album again, with another track from the album called ‘Un Beso’, offered in a live format. Give it a listen now.

Two years on from the release of Tales Of A Grass Widow, freak folk sister duo CocoRosie have announced the release of their sixth full-length album. Currently on tour in Europe,  before heading to North America in the Autumn, CocoRosie are giving audiences the chance to hear and experience the album in a live format.

Here’s what Bianca “Coco” and Sierra “Rosie” said of the album:

“This will be our sixth record! Like many of our past records, we wrote and gathered much of the material at our farm studio in the south of France with minimal equipment, vintage toys and antique instruments. Going back to a ‘4-track’ style approach, we limited ourselves to essential, acoustic accompaniment, played by us, and select percussion, toys from our old suit cases dating back to the “La Maison” days. Unlike our more psychedelic/electronic explorations of the last two records, our latest songs have a dusty southern feel with old-timey poetry. We ended up in Argentina where we finished the recordings and mixed the record with engineer Nicolas Kalwill with whom we’ve worked on two previous records. The spirit of Buenos Aires added to our already teen-romance-nostalgic-mood where we spontaneously shot a music video casting over 30 local girls.”

Ahead of the album’s release on September 18th, CocoRosie have shared the first superb taste from it, a live version of ‘Heartache City’. The recording was done on their second show in Milan. Listen to it now.

CocoRosie‘s latest album, Tales of a Grass Widow, came out last May via City Slang. The sister duo have just premiered a video for the track ‘Child Bride’, off the same album. The song and its video, as the title suggests, tells the story of a young girl who is given away by her family to a much older man. Emma Freeman directs and you can watch it below.

Freak folk sister duo CocoRosie released last year a 7″ single, ‘We Are On Fire’, but they haven’t released a full-length album in three years. Bianca “Coco” and Sierra “Rosie” are set to release the follow-up to Grey Oceans, on May 27th via City Slang. Tales Of A Grass Widow was co-produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson (Feist, Camille, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Björk) and it marks CocoRosie’s fifth album release.

Coinciding with the announcement, the pair unveiled ‘Gravediggress’, the first single lifted from Tales Of A Grass Widow. “The song is representative of the album’s theme: transformative ecstasy in the face of harmful neglect”, says the press release. “It tells the story of an imagined conversation between an abandoned child and an outcast old woman. The young girl asks the Gravediggress to bury her love in the ground for safekeeping”. Listen to ‘Gravediggress’ below.
