CocoRosie reveals cover art for new Touch & Go single & announces new tour dates


CocoRosie  

CocoRosie recently announce the release of "We Are On Fire" b/w "Tearz For Animals" 7" and digital single, with a street date of June 5 on Touch & Go.  Today the band reveals the cover art for the single as well as a new batch of tour dates in California to celebrate the release of the new single. 

 

The single was recorded with David Sitek in Los Angeles this past Winter. CocoRosie also recorded early in the spring of 2012 with Antony Hegarty at their home studio in Brooklyn. Antony Hegarty sings on "Tearz For Animals." CocoRosie's thoughts on the recording sessions:   
  
"Working with Dave is a creative exorcism -musical kinship without boundary."      

The "We Are On Fire" artwork marks the first collaboration between artist Jesse Hazelip and Bianca (aka Twin Rivers). The "Tearz For Animals" art work came from a prison exchange project; drawings from the inside, between friends, as a means to hope.

In the past couple of years since the release of Grey Oceans:
Sierra produced the skeleton for an industrial opera 2011-2012
Bianca developed the script for her ballet during 2011-2012
Bianca Casady appeared in the Moscow Biennale 2011
CocoRosie appeared in the Marrakech Biennale 2012
CocoRosie toured Asia 2011
Bianca lived in Japan for a period of time while she worked on an exhibition near the end of 2010
