Mute Records is gearing up a few impressive releases for the early part of 2010. First comes Liars’ hotly anticipated Sisterworld. Then, on March 23, Goldfrapp is releasing a new album, titled Head First. The record will be previewed by a singe titled “Rocket,” which is due for release on March 9.

A press release issued ahead of the release describes the band’s fifth album as their “most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With life affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010.”

So, they you have it—an album that promises to take us on a journey to the heart of 2010, and we haven’t even got there yet. Head First was entirely written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, and a bout of touring is expected to follow the release of the album.
