Cocorosie - The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (2007)
What can I say? I never was a big fan of these two (very, very, very!) weird ladies. I really never got their 'freak-folk'. There are some nice tracks on their first two albums, but never could the whole album please me. How will it be with this one? Well, the start of this one is really good. It kicks in with the track 'Rainbowwariors' which I really like. It is a kind of hip-hop-dance-track and the sisters sound very funky. This is also the case with the next track. But there is the old problem again...when we reach the second half of the album the boredom gets in. Tracks like 'Houses' or 'Miracle' should be avoided. Even the great Antony (& The Johnsons) can't save this songs. The best track I think is 'Japan'. This is a childish-popsong, which is very catchy. The absolute CocoRosie-fan must hate this, I, as a average one love it! (Even the opera-part in the middle!)
Conclusion: Same old story with the two sisters, some fine recordings on this album, but again the whole thing isn't very consistent.
Stand-out Tracks: 'Rainbowwarriors' and 'Japan'.
Total rating: 2.5/5.0
