Editor's review
We'd never leap to calling Goldfrapp "traditionalists," but the U.K. act's latest shows a strong awareness of the folk-driven pop produced in the group's same English hills three decades back. Gloss those sturdy structures with synths, top off with postmodern soul vocals--and be sated.
Biography
The first single to be taken from brand new album 'Seventh Tree' will be 'A&E'. ‘A&E' and 'Seventh Tree' are written by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and were recorded at their own studio deep in the English countryside.
'Seventh Tree' follows up the platinum selling and critically acclaimed 'Supernature' album which came out in summer 2005 and went on to sell over a million copies worldwide. If "Supernature' was airbrushed in bold strokes of glitterball glamour, 'Seventh Tree' is its sensual counterpoint. Where its predecessor came cocooned in style and sex, 'Seventh Tree' emerges gilded in the butterfly colours of an English surrealism shared from Lear to Lennon. It shimmers and shines with the warmth of a hazy summer, an electric whirlpool of sound over which Alison's glistening voice soars.
