This is fantastic, the best they've sounded in years. This sounded particularly great on a cold sunny walk this morning.
It's funny how at the time FM sounded so derivative and yet more than 10 years later I can't think of anything similar to it - this is so vital, I was trying to explain to the teenagers in my work what Goldfrapp sound like and I couldn't think of anyone to compare them to properly, especially at their most pastoral and delicate.

this is seriously growing on me - especially "annabel" and "thea" - to the point where i think it might be their best album since felt mountain
gotta live with it a bit more tho, no doubt the onset of autumn will help

Thanks for the thread revival. i had totally forgotten about this. I bought the download at the time. Yes it is cosy comforting stuff. Nice music to fall asleep to.

Yeah, this is still a very beautiful record. My second favourite Goldfrapp after Black Cherry.

Ready for a new album now.

There's an underlying melancholy though which makes it more than that.
