Easy Listening?

[Soft & Fresh] CocoRosie – Lemonade

After being sucked into the odd world of Bianca and Sierre Casady through the bittersweet By Your Side ("I'd wear your black eyes, bake you apple pies"), I have been trying in vain to find another one of their songs to like let alone rival. This may be it.


Having heard this cover before the original I am obviously biased in a "but I loved you first" way, however, this version is incurably cool. I used a naff word. There goes another one. Apologies.


We like it because it is echo-y and epic. Sounds like how I thought Zooey Deschanel's band would sound, but better.


From the Limited Edition Box Set of Lungs. All I could think of was the Maccabees' Latchmere upon hearing this, but obviously the only link is the water themed content. I love that Florence songs just keep coming out of the woodwork, like skin at the first signs of summer, but unlike ghost-like torsos and knobbly knees, they never disappoint.
