One of the last decade's most assailed acts, CocoRosie—sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady—confuse people with their absurdist art, baiting language or collage-oriented sonics until they invoke ire. But at a time when adopting trends to cash in quickly has moved from the mainstream to the land of indie, too, CocoRosie's willful oddities are the perfect panacea. As evocative as they are idiosyncratic, these songs are alleyways into adventure. Best to not stand outside, snickering at your own reluctance. —Grayson Currin
