Four years ago, Justin Timberlake brought SexyBack. In those four years that followed, a lot has changed. “Sexy” is no longer the solution the American people are clamoring for. We need something different, something weirder. Something more like a live-action drag version of The Triplets of Belleville but with haunting melodies, weird children’s toys, and crazy tinny vocals. So THANK GOD CocoRosie (CocoRacist?) is touring. The sisterly duo’s next album, Grey Oceans, the follow-up to 2006’s The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (TMT Review), is scheduled to be released May 11 on Sub Pop. They’ll be hitting the road to both tout the album and bring fake lady mustaches back. Relax, nation, you can rest easy now. Your ravenous desire for charm and quirkiness is about to be satisfied.
