CocoRosie, Noah's Ark

A symbol of everything the Earth has best, of everything that is worth saving in the imminence of a destroying storm. A collection of pure sounds, of distorted elements, of animal moanings, of trembling voices alongside troubled images created in hypnotic fantasies, under bizarre influences. (Dragonfly kiss your tail/ Precious robot built so frail/ Universe of milk and ember/ Your hot kiss in mid December/ What's god name I can't remember/ Through the crack eye lovely weather " Bear hides and buffalos).That covers the quintessence of what Coco Rosie is. They themselves are like a strange creature twisted by the forces of nature, which constantly fills up their pores and reveals hidden sensations and shivering feelings. The world is their oyster.
