Toronto - I loved the last Goldfrapp album, Supernature. It had some good shit on it, very dancey-electro kind of feel. In fact I’ll go as far to say that I am a Goldfrapp fan. So imagine my delight when I found via some incredible fluke, the latest Goldfrapp album online. It is called Seventh Tree and its scheduled for release on Feb 12, 2008. I dont know how it came online so quickly, but i know there is probably some disgruntle worker somewhere that did this.

Before I quickly deleted the album, I gave it a listen. What can I say about it? It is quite a change from previous albums. The other Goldfrapp albums were all about the party, the glitter and the glam. This album? It’s about the morning after, the sunday afternoon, where all you want to do is drink coffee beside a fire place and read a book…or play halo 3. It’s a definite departure from their sound, but it is still pretty good. It has a laid back vibe to it, sometimes it sounds like the raveonettes, when the guy isn’t singing and they aren’t trying to duplicate Jesus and Mary Chain. I’m sure this album will put off some fans of the Goldfrapp sound, but this album will probably prolong their careers just a bit, as it shows that they can do music besides the electroclashdanceparty stuff they are known for.

id post some mp3s, but i don’t have them anymore. so instead, i’ll provide you with a youtube video - in case you aren’t familiar with this band.
