Indie Celebs Rally For CocoRosie

June 21, 2010

Photobucket

pretty cool way to defend your love of some weirdo sisters, Stereogum! Get some indie celebs to write about how you are correct to like a record. BAM. Instant correctness. Antony, JD Samson, Nico Muhly, Jamie Stewart, Yoko Ono and others contribute their reasons as to why CocoRosie rules.

Antony quote: I have concluded that the reception of CocoRosie in the US reflects the denial of a greater feminist issue, an ecological issue, a racial issue, a spiritual issue. If we cannot face that our collective brokenness in these areas is the rockbed of our crisis as a virulent species, then we will continue in our blindness to dismiss our American art revolutionaries who are out in the field, working through exactly these issues.

Jamie Stewart quote: They always strike me across the knuckles as so wrong in so many ways that it is wonderful actually, like when you look into a cloud of poison gas.

Starting March 31st, Stereogum will have a song-by-song tribute to Bjork’s groundbreaking 2nd solo album “Post.” “Enjoyed” has an impressive who’s who of indie rockers is on the list (see below). I know this eclectic record infused my adolescent gayness with beats and piqued my curiosity for artier/electronic interests, so it’s no wonder we see so many fellow gays up in here: Atlas Sound, Xiu Xiu and Final Fantasy w/ Ed Droste all contribute. Like the R.E.M. and Radiohead albums Stereogum did in the past, these will be downloadable for a limited time only. Below are some tracks from the R.E.M. tribute that you might be interested in (maybe).

Sara Quin w/ Kaki King–Sweetness Follows

Amanda Palmer w/ Cormac Bride–Everybody Hurts

“Enjoyed” Tracklist:

1. Liars – “Army Of Me”
2. Dirty Projectors – “Hyperballad”
3. High Places – “Modern Things”
4. Bell - “It’s Oh So Quiet”
