Tales of a GrassWidow

CocoRosie

A surreal blend of operatic trills, toy instruments, and electronic beats. This record feels like an eco-feminist fairytale told through a glitchy, digital lens.

May 24, 2013 · Transistor Recording

Find on Amazon

A hauntingly beautiful and surreal meditation on nature and mortality.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition into the heavy electronic pulse of Tears for Animals featuring Antony Hegarty.
The skeletal, intimate piano arrangement of Broken Chariot that feels like a secret whispered in the dark.
The way the operatic trills on Gravediggress collide with a sharp, modern hip-hop beat.
