Mar 22, 2010 · Goldfrapp Head First (intro) Released today (22 March), Goldfrapp's new album Head First is a glorious - if unexpected - foray into pure ‘80s pop. Goldfrapp have ditched the acoustic guitars from their folktronic 2008 album Seventh Tree and replaced them with massive synthesizers, effortlessly catchy hooks and staccato Giorgio Moroder basslines.
Mar 22, 2010 · Goldfrapp stepped off the dancefloor with The Seventh Tree’s folky reveries, but the duo couldn’t stay away for long. Head First dives into luscious, eminently danceable synth pop that's almost as far removed from the sleek shuffle beats of Black Cherry and Supernature as their previous album was.

Released 2000 Label Mute Chart position UK: No.57 US – For an album so deeply entrenched in the past, Goldfrapp’s debut still sounds fresh and innovative more than two decades after its release. Taking in classical, leftfield electronica, Brechtian cabaret, folk and 60s pop, Felt Mountainis an ambitious piece of work, a feat made even more remarkab...
Released 2003 Label Mute Chart position UK No.19 US – After a year on the road in support of Felt Mountain, Will and Alison found themselves frustrated with their “static” live show, not only because they had just nine songs of their own, but because of the emotional toll it took to perform those intense torch songs, night after night. It was parti...
Released 2005 Label Mute Chart positions UK No.2 US No.138 Having found the sumptuous 70s sounds of disco and glam rock such a comfortable sonic fit on Black Cherry, Goldfrapp chose to stick with them as a starting point for their third album – even the title references Cerrone’s disco classic from 1977. However, anyone expecting a velvet goldmine ...
Released 2008 Label Mute Chart positions UK No.2 US No.48 By the time Goldfrapp began work on their fourth studio album in October 2006, a number of factors, both personal and professional, were leading Alison and Will in a different direction for their next record.

Released 2010 Label Mute Chart positions UK No.6 US No.45 Another album and a further shift in direction. A direct reaction to the low-key, intimate Seventh Tree, Head Firstwas announced by the band in a press release at the beginning of 2010 as “our most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With li...
Released 2017 Label Mute Chart positions UK No.6 US No.118 Tradition dictates that a sombre, atmospheric Goldfrapp album is followed by a return to the dancefloor. It also dictates that Goldfrapp are unpredictable, and although Silver Eye is much more upbeat than Tales Of Us, it takes the essence of the group and presents it through a different pri...
Head First is the fifth studio album by English electronic music duo Goldfrapp, released 19 March 2010 by Mute Records. The album debuted at number six on the UK Albums Chart, selling 23,261 copies in its first week. It was supported by three singles: "Rocket", "Alive" and "Believer".
It must be especially galling when that comeback single is a pop song extraordinaire - packed with hooks, instantly appealing and addictively replayable. But that's precisely what happened earlier this month to Goldfrapp's Rocket, the first single off their fifth album Head First.
