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 ...

With li...

Sep 2, 2013 · For their sixth album Tales Of Us, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have stepped back from the electronic synth pop with which they made their name. “I like electronic sounds because of the iciness, but I find them quite awkward,” says Goldfrapp. “Acoustic instruments have a warmth and sensuality about them.”
The band were inspired by an acoustic radio session they had performed, which led the duo to incorporate acoustic guitars into their music to create "warm" and "delicate" sounds. [ 38 ] The album's lead single, " A&E ", reached number ten in the UK. [ 5 ]
