I'll Hate Werewolves A Little Less Today

So what's the first thing you notice about musically inclined sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady?

Is the the weird clothes? The hip-yet-odd pictures? The fact that if you didn't know they were sisters you'd think they were a lesbian couple? Maybe it was the stache... 

was it that they're theatrical in the most absurdly casual way? 

Well what you should notice, is that these pictures, actually- the entire CocoRosie image is perfectly intertwined with their sound;

hip freak-folk tunes, the you might hear while browsing the racks at American Apparel or Urban Outfitters, 

while some how still being unique.

The song I'm posting today is quite old, but for some reason has still been trending all over my Facebook feed, and if you were wondering where they got their beautiful, natural and strong features, it's probably the fact that they're half Cherokee- and gorgeous.  

Listen to Werewolf 

Sorry I couldn't find an official video

      

Grandfathers Music Suggestion

Unlike many nineteen year olds, when my Grandfather offers his musical opinion, I listen, so when he pulled me aside at a family get together to inform me of his latest discovery I was excited to learn it was that of London based folk artist Laura Marling. Her most recent album dropped on my birthday last year September 12, 2011, titled "A Creature I Don't Know". The songs draw from heavy folk influences, and the sound is comparable to Joni Mitchell, one could call it fresh yet nostalgic, there is a pinch of familiarity about the songs and the quality of her strong but flighty voice, however while they are familiar, the songs are not trite. Of course, after a brief YouTube excursion it was clear I needed to make a trip to my local record store and purchase the LP- I have to say I have no complaints about my purchase, but I am faintly disappointed because my favorite song of hers is on the "My Manic and I EP" and titled New Romantic, but it has mysteriously vanished from the internet.

                                                  
                                                   And of course, my favorite of Marling's
                                                        Laura Marling- New Romantic

                                and be sure to check out her website for a discography and news!
