With a committed global fanbase stretching across Europe, the United States, South America and beyond, CocoRosie has consistently released cutting-edge studio records and performed to sold out concert venues for two decades. Recording artists most recognized for their masterful poetry and timeless harmonies accompanied by lo-fi toy folly, classical instrumentation and genre-defying rhythms, sister duo CocoRosie continue to elevate their sound and art with each recording project.
Sierra Casady is a classically trained Opera singer and stage actor and Bianca Casady is a published poet, theater director and accomplished visual artist. Together the sisters utilise music, theatrical practices of movement and character study, fashion and contemporary art to create a body of work which reflects the beauty and sorrow of our collective experience.
Through radically subversive and highly developed conceptual art, CocoRosie utilises irreverence and play to stand up for human rights and question social norms, often playing with taboos. Widely celebrated, often misunderstood, and always unwavering, CocoRosie is a rigorously structured art and music project spanning two decades.
CocoRosie has released seven studio albums to date and will release their highly anticipated 8th record in the Spring of 2025: Put The Shine On (2020), Heartache City (2015), Tales of a Grasswidow (2013), Grey Oceans (2010), The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (2007), Noah's Ark (2005), and La maison de mon rêve (2004). In addition to CocoRosie tours and festival performances worldwide, CocoRosie has composed original scores for four full-length theatrical works by acclaimed director Robert Wilson; Peter Pan, Pushkin's Fairy Tales, Edda, and Jungle Book - with another project underway.
CocoRosie has also worked with the Kronos Quartet at their Jazz Festival in San Francisco for two seasons, creating a new collection of songs that will become a collaborative album with Kronos.
As a visual artist, Bianca Casady has mounted solo art exhibitions internationally, including at Deitch Projects (2007) and Cheim & Read Gallery (2012). As an experimental theater director, Bianca has created several plays, including NightShift (2012) at Kampnagel in Hamburg, Germany, Mother Hunting (2015) at the National Theater in Oslo, Norway, and The Angel Show (2017) at the National Theater Academy in Norway. Bianca hosts an ongoing experimental poetry course titled Remembering The Miracle and in 2023, the artist published her first poetry book, Au bord du ciel: Heaven bound. Sierra Casady has arranged and performed music globally, including with the Symphony Orchestra of Amsterdam, The ICA in London and The Sydney Opera House and created "Soul Life," an Opera staged at the Donau Festival in Krems.
