Following the glam-frenzy of 2005'''s critically acclaimed Supernature, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, the dynamic duo that comprises Goldfrapp, have given us a release date and name for their forthcoming album. Titled Seventh Tree, Mute sumptuously describes the sound of the new album: ''"It shimmers and shines with the warmth of a hazy summer, an electric whirlpool of sound over which Alison'''s glistening voice soars.''"
For fans of Goldfrapp'''s chill-out debut, Felt Mountain, adjectives like ''"hazy''" should get tongues salivating as it suggests a return to form for the duo. With the uber-pop compositions of Supernature being featured in TV ads ranging from Target to Diet Coke, one can'''t help but wonder if Goldfrapp have decided to go back to their strange land of sweeping, cinematic strings matched only by Alison'''s breathy, operatic pipes, and where snow-capped mountain landscapes play host to characters like crying horses and lovely heads. Time will tell, but here'''s a sexy new pic of Alison until then. Seventh Tree hits stores February 26th, 2008 via Mute Records.
