Noah's Ark

since 'la maison de mon reve' surfaced in early 2004, cocorosie has lived a nomadic existence, spending months travelling the world with myriad acts, including bright eyes, tv on the radio, antony and the jonsons, devendra banhart, and blonde redhead. along the way, 'noah's ark' began to breathe. it happened anytime, anywhere, everywhere: in a barn in france, at their home in brooklyn, in a parisian studio, in a grungy hotel room after a show. the songs were formed and fashioned in various ways, using anything from prehistoric recording methods to more modern techniques. heart-offerings of friends, family, loved ones and lost ones surface gracefully throughout 'noah's ark', contributing depth to the narrative journey; a mother's chant, a nephew's cry. the album also features impressive collaborations where antony's (of the jonsons) angelic falsetto floats across 'beautiful boyz', the texture and flow that french mc and beat boxer spleen adds to 'k-hole' and 'bisounours' amongst others.
