Totally agree with Paul Cox. The implication that not liking CocoRosie is somehow anti-feminist, or demonstrates a fear of being “challenged,” ignores the fact that it might be even conceivable that someone might just truly find them unlistenable and empty. Come ON. At the absolute least, that’s conceivable.

I’m female, I approached them with an open mind, and I truly, honestly don’t like them. I realize the overblown praise is here to counter what people feel like has been unfair panning, but it’s still so over the top. It’s pretty hard to take these seriously when nobody really acknowledges this possibility, and instead blames poor critical reception on an inability to recognize our collective plight as human beings or something equally ridiculous.

nothing she has done has grabbed me the way catalpa did. that album is completely enchanting and other-worldly. the absolute best part to me is the cough in the middle of “all the morning birds,” one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. it’s so natural and raw and wonderful.

this band has really grabbed me — something about his vocals in this video is jeff mangum-ish.

i wish they would come out with something as consistent and raw as thickfreakness was. this album has a few good songs but they just aren’t as strong with the droney, slow stuff. i was expecting a little more life in it, especially since dangermouse had a hand.
