Cocorosie will be touring... pretty much everywhere in the world for the next little while to support their third album entitled
The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, due out on April 10. Along with the hip-hop influenced sound, the new record tends to lean toward a more 90s-Portishead-trip-hop-style. In addition, songs like "Japan" and "Houses" feature Sierra’s impressive operatic voice! I love how Cocorosie always experiment with different sounds and vocal styles without making their songs overly abstract and pretentious.

Just for fun, here are all the songs (in mp3s) that Patrick performed on the vCast episodes, enjoy!
I saw more than a dozen bands during CMW last week and at least a handful of them were pretty great. The one band that definitely stood out for me was a band from Montreal, Quebec called The Nymphets. I saw them twice during the festival and both of their sets were fast tempo and ultra energetic! There was little to none of that 'dreading-talking-in-between-songs crap' that most bands make the audience suffer through; instead, The Nymphets pretty much played straight through their set and incredibly, they managed to squeeze in over 10 tracks in about 30 mins. For most parts, the lead singer chanted out the vocals in super-speed while I am pretty sure the drummer can beat anyone in a drum-off. The Nymphets make songs in a punk style that shouts Ramones influence... well... I guess they are a lot faster and less punk anthems like. Nonetheless, be sure to check out The Nymphets live and go buy their self-titled release!

Pitchfork reviewed The Magic Position today... not only did it received a high score of 8.3, The Magic Position also made it onto the 'Best New Music' section! What is going on... Pitchfork is actually liking the music I listen to??!!
