The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (Touch and Go, 2007) is the third full length studio album by CocoRosie. It was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson, Björk's longtime collaborator. 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. As children, the sisters spent summers with their father, an Iowa farmer who became interested in Native American religion, while he visited Indian reservations and took part in vision quests. The album's cover is a photo by Pierre et Gilles that features Sierra, Bianca, and Bianca in drag. Their music has been called "freak folk", and incorporates elements of pop,blues, opera, electronica, and hip hop. On May 13, 2008, CocoRosie released a new single entitled "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me". The nomadic duo (currently and temporarily residing in New Mexico) spent much of 2008 writing and recording in Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Berlin, New York, and Paris, finding amazing and diverse musicians to collaborate along the way. The result is their 11-song 2010 Sub Pop debut, Grey Oceans. CocoRosie was named the 16th most influential artist of the decade by betterPropaganda in 2009.
