Synopsis

CocoRosie drift through a surreal, childlike dreamscape that seems to float somewhere between outer space and a storybook. Bianca and Sierra Casady leap, sing, dance, play basketball, ride a swingset, and interact with stuffed birds and other curious objects. Hand-drawn blue stars and skulls spin around them, while rainbows, tents, amplifiers, and a giant shoe add to the strange imagery. The journey culminates in a cosmic, watery landscape, where the sisters appear suspended in an otherworldly void.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was circulated as the first single release from CocoRosie's second album, *Noah's Ark*, which came out in 2005 on Touch and Go Records.
  • Its visual style closely matches CocoRosie's early artistic identity: homemade-looking, eccentric, childlike, and deliberately unsettling rather than polished or conventional.
  • The clip combines live-action performance with hand-drawn animation, including blue line drawings of stars and skulls that reinforce its fairy-tale atmosphere.
  • The sisters' unusual fashion and physical presence are treated as part of the video's visual language, making their faces, bodies, and movements as important as the surreal props and settings.
  • The imagery includes recurring contrasts between innocence and discomfort, with children's toys and games placed alongside skulls, cosmic isolation, and bizarre transformations.
  • The video helped establish the distinctive audiovisual world associated with the *Noah's Ark* era, a period when CocoRosie's music and imagery were increasingly recognized for their experimental blend of folk, electronics, opera, hip-hop, and found sounds.
