New Tales of Goldfrapp

New Tales of Goldfrapp

Goldfrapp – the most perfect band on earth – are back with a new album that will come out in the beginning of September and be called Tales of us, hurrah! They just released a very sexy and sensual short film that accompanies the first single titled Drew. The song reveals the new sound of the upcoming record and I am more than happy to hear that it’s a return to their more melancholic and orchestrated style of debut album Felt Mountain (my favorite) and their other dreamy longplayer Seventh Tree. After the jump you can enjoy the new video and a teaser for the album.

New Goldfrapp Song: Yellow Halo

Even though their last album Head First was not really my cup of tea, Goldfrapp still remains one of my all-time favorite bands with amazing songs such as Utopia, Strict Machine, Oh La La and A&E. In the beginning of Febuary 2012 they will release their first Best Of album summing up all their singles plus two brand new songs. One of them has been released a few days ago: the charming and dreamy Yellow Halo, with a video that was shot with an iPhone by director Lisa Gunning who also happens to be Alison Goldfrapp’s girlfriend. Have a look at it after the jump.

Alison Goldfrapp once said she hated the 80s. Then I really wonder why the new Goldfrapp album Head First that will be released in March is full of mid and late 80s synth tunes. It really took me a while to get used to this as I’m not such a big fand of the 80s as well. My first reaction to the single Rocket that is already making the rounds on the interdolly was slight disappointment. But the song grew on me and now I find myself singing loadly on my way to the subway: “Ohoho, I got a rocket. Ohoho, you’re going on it.” More about the new album after the jump.
