about

“Beautiful Boyz” is the first single from CocoRosie’s upcoming “Elevator Angels” EP due out on March 8th, 2024.

A call back to the lo-fi roots of CocoRosie, yet something entirely brand-new and refined, "Elevator Angels" invites a recognition of the cultural impact of CocoRosie’s music for decades.

The five signature songs are composed of masterful poetry and timeless harmonies from sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady, featuring renowned French pianist Gael Rakotondrabe to create a timeless selection from the CocoRosie repertoire over the past 20 years, including signature tracks "Terrible Angels '' from La Maison de Mon R​ê​ve (2004), “Beautiful Boyz " from Noah’s Ark (2005); and later songs such as “Villian” from Tales of a GrassWidow (2013).

Elevator Angels EP points to a full length acoustic album release by the same title later this year, which will include previously unreleased songs. In addition, a 20th Anniversary double LP reissue of CocoRosie’s breakout album La Maison de Mon R​ê​ve will be released this year on Touch and Go Records; and to top it all off will be the highly anticipated 8th studio record from CocoRosie, slated for a debut in the Fall.

lyrics

No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys

Born illegitimately to a whore most likely
He became an orphan
Oh, what a lovely orphan
He was sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, it was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
Oh, he went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh, how he loved - he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys

All those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
