Video Premiere: Goldfrapp - Annabel

Goldfrapp continues to tell Tales of Us. After the absolutely mesmerising Drew the turn has come to Annabel. The story of, as Alison puts it, 'a girl trapped inside the body of a boy' is so cinematic and well told in a most simplistic way. Love the heavenly vocals and a softly strumming guitar - that's all you need really! Based on a novel with the same name telling the story of an intersexed child who is forced to take on a male identity. The search within our inner core for personal truths and how the outcome manifests is something we could spend years discussing over coffee. So many are afraid to look within and find the essence of themselves we have noticed. Hiding behind social constructs is perhaps easier than exploring your own personal identity, but finding it and embracing will set you free forever. That's what the dress in this case represents to us. Allowing someone to see you for who you are instead of hiding in darkness. For a brand new amazing Goldfrapp interview with Nowness click here. Enjoy! Thoughts? 

Video Premiere: Goldfrapp - Drew

The new Goldfrapp video Drew hits us in all the right spots. It's music and visuals for all senses. Going back to their Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree roots it still feels fresh and new. From the new we're getting French chanson and torch songs with that special magic that only can come from Alison's voice. The video is simply amazing. Faded like an old album full of forgotten memories that were once treasured. Alison as the lady of a manor, walking around in a world that seems out of place and deserted. Flashes of other people; is it dream or reality? It's a stunnning body of work and a much welcome return. Upcoming album Tales of Us is out on September 9th and their new tour kicks off this week already; on the 17th at the Manchester International Festival. We saw their last tour in 2010 and will make sure to catch this one too. Have a look below! Thoughts? PS. This is the first taster of the film Tales of Us directed by Alison's girlfriend Lisa Gunning, which will hit cinemas later this year. 

Goldfrapp - Yellow Halo - Video Premiere!

Goldfrapp are saying goodbye to their label Mute Records by releasing The Singles - you guess it, a collection of their singles on February 6th next year. Two new tracks will be featured - Melancholy Sky and this one Yellow Halo. Great to hear 'frapp heading back to their original unique sound with this one. Nice way to round off more than a decade on the same label. We're so intrigued what the future holds for them. The video is filmed entirely on an iPhone 4 by Alison's girlfriend Lisa Gunning, when on tour in South America. Cute and very low key. No massive budget needed! Alison could pay with nature's credit card, hehe. Have a listen/look below! Thoughts?
