Heartache City

"After years of more elaborate projects, CocoRosie's Sierra and Bianca Casady return to their roots on Heartache City. Avoiding the electronics that dominated their later albums, the duo opted for the acoustic and toy instruments that made La Maison de Mon Rêve a one-of-a-kind debut ... As always, the beauty of the duo's music makes these moments all the more haunting".

""Heartache City" jitters with skiffle hand claps and bustles with so much nocturnal energy, listening to it is like being transported straight into a smoke filled whiskey juke joint. But in the world of CocoRosie the environment retains a constant cloud of surrealism that, once inhaled, is hard to come down from ... Heartache City has much more in common with the band's first two albums, the freakiness of their folk here is undeniable, but the tracks all share a strong backbone of hip hop and afro-beat which elevates them above the streamlined pop melee".
