Cocorosie have gone off and made a quieter, more introspective record. A solid one at that. While previous efforts have gone a bit awry with some of the sampling choices - much of this record works as a collective whole. Everything from Middle-Eastern-tinged "Smokey Taboo," to 1950's crooning "Lemonade" and the hip-hop-baroque-piano noodling of "The Moon Asked The Crow"- CocoRosie keep building on their ability to build a patchwork of styles and make it work.

Cocorosie is probably my favorite band right now. I found out they were playing a few hundred miles from where I lived so I hitchhiked down there and caught their performance. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Their style is uncategorizable, very personal and unique. I've listened to Grey Oceans a number of times now and it just keeps sounding better and better. Perhaps not quite the tour-de-force that was The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, but awesome in its own way. Experimental, cutting edge, poetic, with a certain earnest charm that's all too rare in today's jaded musical climate. I tend to get choked up when I listen to these girls. I'm going to see them again next month and I'm sure I'll love it even more now that the songs on Grey Oceans have sunk in a little. I listen to good music all day long, I'm like a walkman junkie but they really stand out for me, the stuff they do just gets to me. Magic, mystery, tears, exquisite beauty and just plain fun! Thanks, guys!

I enjoyed this album. Cocorosie is an acquired taste and this latest album is a bit experimental, even for them. There were a couple songs that I would describe as hit or miss, but there were just as many musical passages that gave me a shiver of delight, and several tracks I liked instantly. Not as good as Noah's Ark, but definitely worth purchasing. The album is a very cool translucent blue, the sleeve art laughably horrible (on purpose, I hope)!
