And yeah, the album did leak as of this past Wednesday. At first pass-through, you'll notice how mellow the album is and yet it still manages to rock out. Its the kind of album that you put on while driving or working in your drawing room. Its a hopeful album. Sure there are some forlorn messages but its heavy on optimism. Really light on Chris Martin's crooning. EMI hopes that you buy it.
What's nice on this recording is that the band brought in Davide Rossi, the violinist extraordinaire who has played for Goldfrapp countless times. His handiwork shines on the tracks "Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant" and "Viva La Vida". You probably remember him on the Supernature tour as the man who looked like Jesus on the keytar. That's him. He's awesome. Watch him perform live as he's on tour with Goldfrapp.
