Sisters Bianca “Coco” and Sierra “Rosie” Casady, aka experimental freak-folk and hip-hop duo CocoRosie, haven’t released new music in two years, but they’ve been plenty busy boosting their resumes again since 2010’s “Grey Oceans.” In addition to touring, Sierra produced the skeleton for an industrial opera and Bianca developed a script for her own ballet, but CocoRosie has finally reunited with Touch and Go Records and teamed up with David Sitek to bring us a 7-inch single “We Are On Fire.” While the b-side offers a heavy pop groove featuring Antony Hegarty on guest vocals, the a-side gets an appropriately supernaturally blazing video to go along with the smouldering track. Director Emma Freeman takes the avant-garde quirks of CocoRosie and creates a beautifully eerie flow which leads to much smoke in the end.
