The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn

CocoRosie

A surrealist barn-recorded fever dream where operatic arias meet toy-instrument hip-hop. Haunting, dusty, and deeply fixated on the ghosts of childhood.

A ghostly, childlike wonder filtered through the lens of southern gothic trauma and surrealism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring shift from operatic trills to a stumbling hip-hop beat on Japan.
The sound of a literal horse neighing and barnyard echoes bleeding into the percussion of Animals.
The fragile, lisping delivery of the line 'Viva lost childhood' as the album closes on Miracle.
