3	[=CocoRosie=] is a musical project consisting of the two Casady sisters, Sierra (Rosie) and Bianca (Coco). These were nicknames their mother gave them as children.
4
5	They were born and raised in America, and the stories of their childhood have something of a magical quality for fans. They recorded both a never-released hip-hop record, ''Word to the Crow'', and their first album, [[GratuitousFrench La maison de mon rêve]] over the course of 2 months in the bathroom of Sierra's Paris apartment in 2003, after meeting for the first time in years. Since this time, the two sisters have been inseparable.
6
7	They are considered largely part of the freak-folk/new weird America movement, and their style varies with touches of [[GenreMashup blues, opera, pop, hip-hop, folk, electronica]], and anything else you can think of. Sierra is classically trained in operatic vocal techniques, and sings while playing guitar, harp, and flute. Bianca is a percussionist, and also beatboxes as well as manipulating various children's toys which they use to create their unique sound.

25	!! The sisters and their music contains examples of:
26	* ArrangedMarriage / OldManMarryingAChild: In ''Child Bride''.
27	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Besides the ''Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn'' album cover, Bianca has the habit of crossdressing during shows. She doesn't look bad.
28	* CentralTheme: Their childhood.
29	* DrivenToSuicide: In the music video of ''Gallows''.
30	* EverythingIsAnInstrument: At their early years they used to do their music with a lot of musical toys.
31	* GenreMashup: Their music is officially classified as "Freak Folk", but it's really hard to exactly define it, as it ranges from hip hop to opera to blues to electronica...
32	* GratuitousFrench: ''Bisounours'' and ''The Sea Is Calm''.
33	* LyricalDissonance: ''All'' of the songs, really. Childlike tunes, lyrics about aborted fetuses, drugs, abandonment, abuse, racism, LGBT issues, death...
34	* ObsessionSong: ''Honey Or Tar''.
35	* StylisticSuck: The album covers. Somewhat averted by ''Tales of a Grass Widow''.
36	* SurrealMusicVideo: Most of them, with a special mention to ''Lemonade'' and ''We Are On Fire''.
37	* UncannyValleyMakeup: In the ''Lemonade'' video, and some album covers and performances.
38	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: While most of their songs have bits from their childhood memories, ''Werewolf'' and ''Lemonade'' are way more direct about this, but still heavily romanticized.
39	* XtremeKoolLetterz: ''Beautiful Boyz'', ''Tearz for Animals''.
