Heartache City is the sixth full-length studio album by CocoRosie.[3] The album was self-released by the duo on their own label, Lost Girl Records.[4]

Composition

Like many of our past records, we wrote and gathered much of the material at our farm studio in the south of France with minimal equipment, vintage toys and antique instruments. Going back to a "4-track" style approach, we limited ourselves to essential, acoustic accompaniment, played by us, and select percussion, toys from our old suit cases dating back to the La Maison days.
— CocoRosie[5]

Promotion and release

On June 11, 2015, CocoRosie shared a behind-the-scenes video of the duo working in the studio, and announced that a new album would be released that fall.[6] The video featured snippets of the tracks "Hairnet Paradise" and "Big and Black", with the latter being intended for the album. The album was preceded by the release of three live recordings of album tracks: "Heartache City" on July 9, 2015;[7] "Un Beso" on July 22, 2015;[8] and "Lost Girls" on August 11, 2015.[9] The live tracks were recorded at Findspire Studio, and released via SoundCloud. The album's title and release date were revealed along with the release of "Un Beso (Live)" on July 22, 2015.[10] On September 10, 2015, the track "Tim and Tina" premiered exclusively via Billboard.[11]

Heartache City was released digitally on September 18, 2015,[12] and on CD on October 16, 2015.[13] It is the first album to be released on CocoRosie's own label, Lost Girl Records.[14] The non-album track "Lilies of Innocence", which features guest vocals from frequent collaborator Anohni, was available to download upon ordering the album on CD from CocoRosie's website.[15] On January 29, 2016, the album was released on vinyl.[16] The vinyl release has different album art, and includes two bonus tracks: "Lilies of Innocence" and "Un Beso (Live)".
