freak folk X Junk Junkies

okay, let YC sort of introduce you to the magical land of CoCoRosie.
CocoRosie is a musical group formed in 2003 by sisters Bianca "Coco" and Sierra "Rosie" Casady. The sisters were born and raised in the United States, but formed the band in Paris after meeting for the first time in years. Their music has been called "
freak folk", and incorporates elements of
pop,
blues,
opera,
electronica, and
hip hop.
Their albums, which YC only have 3...who's gonna buy me the last one?!....
La maison de mon rêve (2004),
Noah's Ark (2005),
The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (2007), and
Grey Oceans (2010).

Freak folk draws from traditional folk music and uses mainly acoustic instrumentation, but introduces elements of avant-garde music and psychedelic folk, often featuring uncommon sounds, themes, and vocal styles.
"If you were to ask me how I feel about the term freak-folk," said Banhart to The New York Times, "it's cool - you have to call it something - but we didn't name it. We've been thinking about what to call it, and we just call it the Family."
