Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree
(Mute) CD & 2LP
Seventh Tree is a far cry from the thumping electro featured on Supernature. Here, folk, lounge & pop recall the fantastic stylings of Kate Bush. First single “A&E” is a mature piece of sweeping adult-oriented pop & like much of the rest of Seventh Tree, sees Alison’s icy, sultry voice emerge take center stage. “Happiness” is a brilliant nymph-as-T-Rex stomper. For fans of the group’s excellent & underrated debut Felt Mountain.
