Last spring, avant-folk sister duo CocoRosie returned with a new single, "We Are on Fire", the first new piece of music from Touch and Go in years. Now the band has announced its full-length followup to 2010's GreyOceans, titled Tales of a Grass Widow and out May 27 in Europe and the UK via City Slang (in Germany, it's out May 24).
The band has also shared a single from the album, "Gravediggress", via The Guardian. The artwork, above, is unsettling. According to The Guardian, the song "is an imagined conversation between an abandoned child and an outcast old woman."
