J.j. Grey

Grey Oceans is the fourth full-length studio album by CocoRosie and was released in May 2010. It is the band's Sub Pop Records debut since their departure from Touch & Go Records. The sound is more different in compare to former realeses. The production is clearer, the instrumention brighter and less electronic. It features a common use of string instruments (mandolin on Trinity's Crying, sitar on Smokey Taboo and harp on Gallows) and piano, also string and brass arrangments were composed for a few tracks (cellos on Undertaker and The Moon Asked the Crow and trumpets and trombones on Lemonade).

In the Land of Grey and Pink is considered by many to be a pinnacle release from Caravan. The album contains an undeniable and decidedly European sense of humor and charm. In addition, this would mark the end of the band's premiere lineup. Co-founder David Sinclair would leave Caravan to form Matching Mole with Soft Machine drummer and vocalist Robert Wyatt in August of 1971. As a group effort, In the Land of Grey and Pink displays all the ethereal brilliance Caravan created on their previous pair of 12" outings. Their blending of jazz and folk instrumentation and improvisational styles hints at Traffic and Family, as displayed on "Winter Wine," as well as the organ and sax driven instrumental introduction to "Nine Feet Underground."
