Double, double, toil and trouble, people: the weird sisters of CocoRosie are at it again, tossing disparate genres and wacked-out lyrics into their freak-folk cauldron and pouring that molten concoction all over our faces. On April 10, siblings Bianca and Sierra Casady conjure up their third LP, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, a twelve-track affair once again born under the moon of Touch and Go Records.

The sisters then hop on their broomsticks for some tour adventures in the old countries, surrounding the album's release. No word yet on North American dates, but we hope they play, like, Salem.

Bianca's Voodoo-EROS imprint, meanwhile, has some more magic in store for 2007. V-E will release the debut LP from Brooklyn sleaze-chic rapper Bunny Rabbit, titled Lovers and Crypts, on February 20. And let me tell you: If sex and cussing are your bread and butter, you've just found your album of the year.
