    Heartache City has much more in common with the band’s first two albums, the freakiness of their folk here is undeniable, but the tracks all share a strong backbone of hip hop and afro-beat which elevates them above the streamlined pop melee.

    At times the sheer weirdness and creepiness of the record can be a bit much, but that’s also what makes CocoRosie so great.

    Now the songs are sharper and prettier. [Jan 2016, p.75]

    In this Heartache City, where tunes have something pleasurable to them, everyone’s not scared of broken hearts--they’re scared of dying where they’ll never be found.

    As always, the beauty of the duo's music makes these moments all the more haunting.
