Guardian Unlimited Gives a Quickie on the New Goldfrapp Album

Straight from the Guardian Unlimited's website:

"...in are a 17th-century steel-string harp and a toy organ. For their fourth album, Seventh Tree - a follow-up to the 2005 album Supernature, and due to be released next February - the band Goldfrapp have gone folk. Singer Alison Goldfrapp and her writing partner Will Gregory used the harp and the organ to record the album in a 1960s bungalow in Bath...."

Follow this link to get the full story. I like the part where Alison mentions dancers galloping around a maypole. How very...fertile. After reading, I'm actually not at all surprised by that sound. Goldfrapp kinda gave hints via remixes and on some interviews where Alison revealed what she was listening to while on tour. At one point during their CA stint, she admitted she was listening to the Beach Boys. Try listening to their remix of The Flaming Lips' "The W.A.N.D. Supernaturalistic Remix" and you get the hint.

The band will reveal to fans very soon the sounds off the forthcoming release, Seventh Tree. Yay!

On another note, the band's MySpace page was updated with more info regarding the slight mistake on one of the tracklistings and confirmed release dates. Also confirmed is the first single, "A&E", which will be available on CD & vinyl February 11 while a digital download version will become available February 3.

Here are the confirmed tracklistings with correct titles:

1. Clowns
2. Little Bird
3. Happiness
4. Road To Somewhere
5. Eat Yourself
6. Some People
7. A&E
8. Cologne Cerrone Houdini
9. Caravan Girl
10. Monster Love

The album will release in the UK February 25 and in the US February 26 2008.
