Goldfrapp have plans in 2008
Goldfrapp apparently have a big 2008 planned. Besides a scheduled appearance at Coa
chella 2008, the electronic minds of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory also have a new album, Seventh Tree (February 26), on the way.
There’s a mellower, more airy vibe on “Seventh Tree,” although Goldfrapp’s distinctive voice is as lush as ever. There are moments that recall the languid strains of Air and Zero 7 and others that brim with accessible melodies.
Initially, the plan was to explore a more psychedelic sound, according to Goldfrapp. “We went out and bought some music labeled ‘psychedelia,”’ she said. “We took it back to the studio, (but when) we listened to it, we thought, ’That’s not what we mean at all.’ I think we invented our own meaning for (“psychedelic”): We wanted it to be joyous and positive.”

The band is also expected to soon announce a full U.S. tour. The music video of Seventh Tree’s first single “A&E” premieres next week. All this comes just a week after that special Christmas message.

However, as of right now, you can stream “A&E” on their myspace and check them out at Coachella in April. [...]
