you may not know

but my taste in music has trended towards the independent, and experimental, in recent years. i'm listening to a band called cocorosie, composed of two sisters - sierra and bianca cassady - right now. their recent release is called "la maison de mon reve", and i've heard nothing like it, ever. the following review at epitonic describes cocorosie's music as folk, indie rock, and experimental. while i wouldn't describe the sound as rock, it certainly is indie. the album is infused with a dreamy quality; when i hear it, i feel nostalgic, as if i was a little child. throughout the album, you hear ambient squeeks, hisses, bleeps, wheezing, and the like: it comes off as highly eclectic, but beautiful and compelling. i would describe cocorosie as the perfect rainy-afternoon-drinking-tea-and-flipping-through-an-old-yearbook kind of music, so if this is what you're looking for, you should give it a listen.
