The Skinny
Grey Oceans highlights CocoRosie's ability to mix any genre that catches their ear, using any instrument they can get their hands on; leaving us with another characteristically enchanting and delightfully weird LP

Grey Oceans can be a difficult listen at times - not in a grating or discordant way, but this is an album that won't reward passivity

Beats Per Minute
CocoRosie’s sound has rarely been richer than on the highlights of this album such as “Lemonade” and “R.I.P. Burn Face”

Drowned In Sound
After the outré highs and lows of Grey Oceans have played their last syllable, it’s hard to know what to think of it, apart from being slightly underwhelmed for the most part

Tiny Mix Tapes
For all its focus on death, regret, and grieving, it’s almost as if the album was made for the ghosts it alludes to, rather than the living who might spend time listening to it on this side

The List
A collage of folk, pop, electronica, jazz and opera – although it does verge on wilfully weird; and it does cross the line into musical theatre

CocoRosie daftness. If it wasn’t so downright odd it’d get two stars, but for idiosyncratic value alone an extra star is well deserved

No Ripcord
CocoRosie dangerously toys with pretension, almost to see how far they can push it, but there’s something genuinely gorgeous about what they do

While Grey Oceans is less caustic than their other work, it still has that lay-it-all-on-the-line quality that's worked for Antony Hegarty, Devendra Banhart, and Joanna Newsom

An awful lot of busy, buzzy activity, signifying absolutely nothing at all beyond how, like, experimental they are

Music like this requires a patient ear because it’s easy to dismiss after only one sitting; the problem here is it’s still unfathomable after several spins
