Now I'm not going to lie, CocoRosie isn't for everyone (Pitchfork even gives them scathing reviews for sounding too weird), but they are most definitely in my top 5 favorite artists. They are weird as all get out, most consider it overly so, and their earlier albums are often classified as being a part of the Freak Folk genre. Their lyrics are strange, voices other worldly, and instrument choice interesting to say the least, but it's for all these reasons that I love their music so much. If you are a fan of CocoRosie, I will most likely be your friend. Now, of all their songs (which are all great, btw), Werewolf is one of my favorites. It gives me this wonderful elated feeling similar wandering around a dark forest, sleep deprived, chasing unicorns, bits of light seeping through the tree tops, while I hear an old record player playing a scratched vinyl of classical piano.
