My Fantasy Band - Bianca Casady, CocoRosie

'Michael Jackson's sense of rhythm was amazing'

Vocals - Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton's singing, presence and charm would be great for the lead singer. I adore her acting and her older songs from the Seventies such as "I Will Always Love You", and "Jolene".

Cello - Arthur Russell

He is one of my favourite musicians and I've never seen any footage of him live so I'd be really curious to see what he could do.

Drums - Michael Jackson

His sense of rhythm was amazing and he was an incredible beatboxer, too, so I'm sure he could have played the drums. He would go to the origins of beatbox.

Synth - Erik Satie

I'm not really fond of the guitar so let's have Erik Satie the French composer and pianist instead. Let's have him on the synth though, not piano. He made really melancholic and minimal piano arrangements.

Poetry - Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud could be the lyricist as well as performing poetry. Not doing "spoken word", but just performing poetry as part of the group. He is one of my favourite poets.

Dancer - Leigh Bowery

He was super futuristic but kind of timeless. I don't think of what he did as being really Eighties in any way. He's kind of otherworldly. I think this collection is pretty perfect.

CocoRosie's album 'Grey Oceans' is out now on Sub Pop Records
