Goldfrapp return with SEVENTH TREE (co-produced by Flood), an album that confounds all that went before; warm and sensual and shimmering, it is the sound of a very British delirium, echoing the nonsense of poetry of Edward Lear and the eccentricities of early Pink Floyd. Recorded in a 1960s bungalow in Bath, it was a conscious move to step away from the Weimar-esque strutting of earlier work and explore a more psychedelic terrain.
Reviews:
We could go on and on and on and on about the comeliness of vocalist Alison Goldfrapp, but there's obviously far more to trumpet about this influential, constantly evolving U.K. electropop duo. After glam slam "Ooh La La" vaulted Alison and co-composer Will Gregory to new chart heights in 2005, the twosome allegedly planned out Seventh Tree as a "sensual counterpoint" to the grandeur of third album Supernature. Nice. Refer back to first sentence. Repeat
