CocoRosie's third release is a lush, orchestral array of sounds and beauty from a unique duo with kooky charm, otherworldly elegance, gorgeous disregard for convention who make infectious, anguished torch-song pop.

"Another curve ball release from the Cassidy Sisters and a different kettle of fish from good old "Noah's Ark". Less lo-fi than expected but still charmingly skeletal. Very dancy in places. Not the record you would expect them to make but still refreshingly eccentric. Opening song seems to combine properties of "Ring-a-Ring-A-Rosie" and the scale to the riff of "All the Young Dudes". Break out the junk food and sing along into the vacuum cleaner hose. Marvellous!”
- GRAEME

Bianca and Sherry Casady are a unique duo with kooky charm, otherworldly elegance, gorgeous disregard for convention who make infectious, anguished torch-song pop.

CocoRosie's third release represents another stride onward from previous works, where the girls continue to experiment with their disparate voices and clashing personalities, juxtaposing devastating ballads like "Werewolf" with exhilarating tracks like "Japan" and the jaunty single "Rainbowarriors". It's a lush, orchestral array of sounds and beauty.

"With the dark, delicious and unsettling feel of a Grimm fairytale… richer, stranger and yet more wonderful.”
- The Guardian

"Just when you think they can't possibly think of something fresh and different, CocoRosie come up trumps again. Part dreamy and part primal. Completely other-worldly.”
- Art Rocker

"This is CocoRosie's best long-player yet and a sure contender for album of the year.”
- Drowned In Sound (9/10)

"A record that is just as quirky as it is brilliant.”
- Sputnik Music (8/10)

"What really makes 'Ghosthorse and Stillborn' worthy of a jump for joy is CocoRosie's transformation from self-conscious oddity into an actual songwriting force.”
- New York Magazine

"CocoRosie has this fantastic ability to infuse humanity into their drum machines, and the warming result carries 'The Adventures Of…' to marvellous heights.”
- Urb (8/10)

"An engaging piece of musical magic realism.”
- Uncut

"Seduces with a mixture of whimsical beauty and compelling mystery.”
