The Stills Explain New Album Cover

The band shares these words with AOL's Spinner (regarding Oceans Will Rise): "Our friend bought a skull on eBay for his girlfriend and then he gold leafed it and had his friend photograph it. It's a guy who was excavated from a high Chilean mountain cliff. There were some crowns and hoards of jewelry found around him, so it can be assumed he was once a great king. I'm sure that person did not think they would end up on a Stills record in 2008.* MP3 at bottom.

CocoRosie Speaks Out On Controversial New Single

The ladies share the following with Spinner regarding 'God Has A Voice, She Speaks Through Me': *"The basic subject that has been really heavy on our minds recently has been patriarchy. As old of an issue as that might be, we've hit a new wave of it. Being at the beach in France and seeing women in the water completely covered head to toe in burkas with all their husbands in Speedos, it hit me in such an intense way. It is political for sure, but the message is, at least coming from us, the opening to a discussion. People have a lot of opinions on the subject because people are really uncomfortable addressing it. It's almost like we're not allowed to talk about it. It becomes a cultural issue instead of a women's issue. For us, we're approaching it more as a women's issue. I've been so personally offended by it, in a way, that I'm ready to at least talk about it. I'm not forcing any statements down anybody's throats. It's just opening up some dialog which is all we can ever hope to do."*

Beth Ditto Chats With The Spinner

When asked about the gay marriage theme behind 'Standing In The Way Of Control', The Gossip's frontwoman had this to say: *I think there are a lot of religions that are really threatened by it. The powers that be - if you start to recognize it as a real thing, you legitimize it and validate it. It kind of debunks Christianity. It's gonna take a long time for it to unfold in my brain. I wouldn't get married. Wearing the dress sounds really nice, but I don't think so. I've been with the same person for a really long time. Marriage is just a lot to live up to. And leaving something open, not an open relationship but not having a label for it, sounds really nice.*
