DMW: Digital Music W...

Behold...Puffy blouses make a comeback.

And opinions are flying already on the Goldfrapp message board.

You can listen to the single "A&E" on Goldfrapp's MySpace page.

After listening to the official mastered version of "A&E", the only difference from the leaked version was that its rhythm is slightly slower and Alison's vocals are crystal clear. I seriously hear the lyrics and as thought, the song is heartbreaking.

As for the cover, I like it. Its not meant to please everyone but this is what Alison and Will want to present. Seventh Tree is pastoral yet steeped in some form of horror. Check out the latest interview that was scanned by one of the many hawk-eyed Goldfrapp fans. The album cover reflects oversimplicity and yet, your eyes end up staring back at a broody looking Alison Goldfrapp. The look she's giving is either 1.) F*^k off; or 2.) A lot has happened in my life, wanna hear it on "Seventh Tree"?

Goldfrapp doesn't mean to weed out their own fan base ("Supernature" fans vs. fans prior to "Supernature"). But like I mentioned before on my previous blog entry (I think the one that's cached on search engines and no longer on my blog), this album will get them more fans. Its sensible pop/folk music that is still accessible and yet decidedly Goldfrapp.
