When it comes to music, I have always felt the one thing that is absent is pragmatism. The essential capability to capture someone’s frame of mind and revolutionize it with words is a vanished art form. I unequivocally thought this art form was lost but thanks to CocoRosie, I have now established that misplaced love that my ears have not heard in a long time.
The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn will twist your imagination into new shapes and colors. CocoRosie did not just raise the bar with their third album; they took the bar of the rack, beat down the stereotypes of their so called “genre”, and they packaged all their raw emotion in one swift blow to your heart. This record is what I like to call a mysterious expedition that takes you to the end of the world. The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn is CocoRosie’s conversion from a self-conscious idiosyncrasy into a genuine and luminous songwriting force. “Wearwolf” is a passionate song ever that will tingle your heart strings and make you weak in the knees. I think the hidden gem of this album is “Promise” by far. This song about self sacrifice and opening one’s heart to someone is the realism that the music industry is missing.
Their ingenious infantile imagination creaks like a coffin with the warped themes of the supernatural, werewolves, rape, fatality, and dreamscapes that are just rupturing to get out there and be the soundtrack to your prepubescent nightmares. The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn is ingenious and has everything to make it a unforgettable album. This is an immeasurable harmonious landscape that requires a larger-than-life musical understanding to give it impartiality.
