The Story of CocoRosie: Pioneers of Experimental Art Pop
CocoRosie was formed over 20 years ago by sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady, who have captivated audiences worldwide with their genre-defying blend of folktronica, baroque pop, psychedelia, and poetic lyricism. Their music is a kaleidoscopic journey, weaving together electronic and acoustic textures, haunting harmonies, and a masterful sense of storytelling. Sierra’s operatic vocals and Bianca’s hip hop-inspired rhythms create a sound that is both timeless and utterly original.
With seven critically acclaimed albums under their belt-including their iconic debut, La Maison de Mon Rêve, which celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special reissue last year-CocoRosie has built a devoted following in Hungary and beyond. Their return to Budapest marks a new chapter in their career, bringing fresh energy and new material to the stage.
Little Death Wishes: A New Album, A New Era
The concert will showcase CocoRosie’s eighth studio album, Little Death Wishes, released in spring 2025. This album delves deep into themes of generational struggles, shattered realities, and the fragile, precious nature of human existence. Known for their evocative lyrics and bold experimentation, the Casady sisters have once again pushed creative boundaries, collaborating with artists like Chance the Rapper and Greg Saunier of Deerhoof.
