Absolutely, I'm hoping that the Ewan Pearson Disco Odyssey remix of 'Ride a White Horse' is the template for this.

Bing Crosby, are you listening? (Billy Dods), Saturday, 23 January 2010 12:08 (fourteen years ago) link

So now "Believer" is out there, and it's even less interesting than "Rocket." I'm not giving up yet, because history proves some of the best Goldfrapp tracks are the deep cuts as opposed to the singles, but... ehhh.

Although, my favorite albums of the past few years have all come out (or leaked, at least) in Q1.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 30 January 2010 10:35 (fourteen years ago) link

The Richard X remix of "Rocket" is better, but the original and "Believer" are zzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Richard X remix of "Rocket" is better

That is very nice indeed.
She looks amazing too, she's not aged in years.

not_goodwin, Monday, 15 July 2013 11:07 (ten years ago) link

indeed.
if its all in that kind of mood, then it could be a perfect album for the autumn.

mark e, Monday, 15 July 2013 11:12 (ten years ago) link

Sounds like it's going to have more of a Seventh Tree feel which is fine by me. I agree that this will a perfect soundtrack for autumn. I'm hoping the Beth Gibbons album will come out around the same time, think they'll compliment each other nicely.

Sounds like they might be continuing to alternate between soft pastoral albums and dancy electro ones. Pity, as I think they're better at the former these days.

3. Tigerman

4. Become The One

The single is pretty good. I felt like I was waiting for an amazing chorus that didn't quite arrive.

Kitchen Person, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:11 (seven years ago) link

Yeah same - but I've a feeling it might prove catchier than it first appears.

chap, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:26 (seven years ago) link

I was never that keen on Ooh La La and I still ended up loving Supernature so I'm not too worried. Hopefully it will be a grower.

Kitchen Person, Monday, 23 January 2017 14:37 (seven years ago) link

YES!

Deliciously evil-sounding. Like.

Jeff W, Monday, 23 January 2017 18:57 (seven years ago) link

I'm cool with this direction - "Tales Of Us" is a great come-down record, but not sure I'd want a retread of that. Even on their lesser records (IMO) they still manage to provide some sublime highlights, like "Hunt" for example.

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 23 January 2017 19:40 (seven years ago) link

Production from Haxan Cloak makes me think it will still be mighty weird

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Monday, 23 January 2017 19:47 (seven years ago) link

It's weird that she refuses to name the album that she was disappointed with before release when it's obviously Head First. She's slagged it off a few times in the past.

Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 01:29 (seven years ago) link

^ Yeah. Was "Head First" the last album they did to get out of a contract or was that the Hits? It felt very "contractual" but it also contains some wicked tracks.

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 01:41 (seven years ago) link

Head First is the only one of their albums I've never listened to.

chap, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 10:49 (seven years ago) link

6Music don't need a new single, they're not finished with "Strict Machine" yet!

(played about 2 days ago, followed by a tweet from a listener approving "Strict Machine is so 6Music...")

― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross)

Yeah, it was. Not long after it came out she said they needed more time on it and the record company had pressured them to make a pop album. She also said it was too shiny and maybe they should have given the songs away to other people. It's one of the albums that when I think about it, I don't really rate it but when I put it on I'm always pleasantly surprised. Hunt, Alive and Rocket would all make my Goldfrapp best of. Alison has named Voicething and Shiny & Warm as the highlights. They're my least favourite songs. Shiny & Warm is just a weak version of Satin Chic without the cool out of tune piano.

Shit, not sure why it errored out. Anyway the new Goldfrapp song "Ocean" is good stuff

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 10 March 2017 00:54 (seven years ago) link

re: head first, I never even realized that album came out until recently. did they just dump that out there and disown it?

akm, Friday, 10 March 2017 04:01 (seven years ago) link

There were sings like "Rocket" and "Alive" which had some promotion but it seems that it didn't move mountains critically or do much for the band in retrospect. Personally I think it's got some sublime tracks like "Hunt" and "Dreaming" as well some other tracks which feel like retreads. The most beautiful thing about is probably the cover art which is visual bliss.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 10 March 2017 04:09 (seven years ago) link

Head First seemed like them playing catch-up after typically being ahead of curve every other time. When I listened to it, I felt like it was a bunch of stuff I'd already heard other people do.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 10 March 2017 04:24 (seven years ago) link

Oo, it's kind of a bit... proggy?

chap, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:16 (seven years ago) link

It's a great track. The opening synth could be out of a Pye Corner Audio/Ghost box track. Classic Goldfrapp arrangement wise - the shuddering fills at the chorus that surround the 4/4 pulse are filmic and momentous while the sonics are gnarled like something out of "Black Cherry". Insanely excited about this album if they do indeed merge the folk side with the electronic in a more symbiotic way.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 10 March 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link

^ Based on what they've been saying in interviews I mean, on that last point.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 10 March 2017 18:54 (seven years ago) link

I liked Head First a lot, but then I'm a much bigger fan of synthpop than I am of acoustic folk.

Me too, generally, but Tales of Us took my breath away (the first six tracks at least).

chap, Friday, 10 March 2017 19:02 (seven years ago) link

"Tales of Us" hit me hard as I was going through a break-up at that time. It's the closest Goldfrapp has sounded to "Felt Mountain" again with the exception of "Seventh Tree". "Stranger" sounds like it walked out of their first album.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 10 March 2017 19:08 (seven years ago) link

ToU came out when I was going through a very bad patch of anxiety and low self-esteem and it was a great tonic.

chap, Friday, 10 March 2017 19:09 (seven years ago) link

Cheers chap. It's a refreshing consistent album sound wise IMO

I can't wait for this album now!

They've also been posting some quite funny pictures on their official FB, too.

Coolio Iglesias (Turrican), Saturday, 25 March 2017 01:31 (seven years ago) link

Number One and Ride a White Horse destroyed the crowd live, it's definitely the peak of their synthpop exrcusions

Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 25 September 2017 06:50 (six years ago) link

also Supernature has the beguiling "Time Out from the World" and "Let It Take You"

Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 25 September 2017 06:51 (six years ago) link

I just love the way the album sounds - it's really smooth and shiny. The artwork could not represent the contents any better!

Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Saturday, 13 May 2023 23:07 (eleven months ago) link

bump, this is really good! not everything is amazing but there's some really great stuff on here. the grooves are huge, expensive ass digital plug ins making everything sound like glitter waterfalls. the songs are classy, occasionally brilliant, some a little forgettable. but a super friendly / inviting listen overall.

ꙮ (map), Thursday, 18 May 2023 17:23 (eleven months ago) link

I like this as much as black cherry and the other pop album (head on? Or whatever), maybe more TBH.

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Saturday, 20 May 2023 06:18 (ten months ago) link
