VINYL FORMAT. Action! Once Upon A Time on A Felt Mountain. Dark, seductive, beguiling, shimmering and deeply cinematic, this is the essence of the esoteric music created by the singular Goldfrapp. A blessed collaboration between composer, vocalist, whistler and keyboardist Alison Goldfrapp and composer Will Gregory, Goldfrapp have forged one of the most remarkable debut albums in recent years - Felt Mountain. Taking some inspiration from classical music, movie soundtracks, 60's French pop and decadent Weimar Republic cabaret, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have fashioned a thrilling and unique 21st Century noir vision. Conventional instruments mix with fractured left field electronic frequencies to form Goldfrapp's sumptuous passionate reinvention of popular music. Bittersweet melodies blend with eruptions of noise, all to heighten the tension of the unfolding emotional drama. In essence a rural soundscape that deliberately avoids the vagaries of passing musical fads, Goldfrapp's ambiguous widescreen songs seem to evoke metaphorical images of mad love, seemingly beautiful yet terrifying future societies, half remembered dreams/conversations and sinister androids in human form. Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory's intoxicating music veers always between overwhelming elation and shattering heartbreak, as any great romance should. Imbued with a state of childlike wonder, Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain is an exhilarating yet defiantly undefinable experience that quickens the pulse and inflames the senses. Violence, loneliness and danger are ever near in the mix, as is love, tenderness and the hope of redemption.
