iTunes Review
After the glam/dance hybrid that was 2005's Supernature, Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree feels like the ideal album for the morning after. Beginning with the gentle, pastoral finger-picked acoustic sounds of "Clowns," the album glides through ambient electronic textures with a heavy focus on Alison Goldfrapp's warm whispers. Songs such as "Happiness" pick up the pace a bit, drawing from joyous '70s piano pop. Like a cosmic fusion of Air and Kate Bush, Goldfrapp prove that they can conjure up a bucolic future just as well as they can fill up the dance floor.
Customer Reviews
Travel Into Goldfrapp's Little World.
Goldfrapp's exquisitely pure follow-up to their 2005 album, "Supernature", is a smooth and delicate venture for the duo. Redefining their sound, Goldfrapp subdues all the glam rock and strong electronic beats on "Seventh Tree", to instead trade for acoustic folk guitars and harmonious strings. For some, this album could possibly be a bore, but others looking for a smooth emotional voyage will likely be astounded. The album opens with "Clowns", one of the more fanciful tracks on the album, and takes Alison's voice through high flows of serene elegance. The rest of the album follows this front nicely. The quirky "Happiness" has cheerful lyrics that coyly describe the album's tone perfectly, "Join our group and you will find, harmony and peace of mind. Make you better, we're here to welcome you." This album feels like a music version of a fantasy novel; it could be said that Alison is playing the role of Alice, and this album is her Wonderland. A supreme highlight would have to be "A&E" as it sweeps over the ears like a fresh spring breeze. Another fine song is the wistful "Little Bird", which is about finding ones wings and flying for freedom. The strong and hypnotic "Cologne Cerrone Houdini" is a welcomed throwback to Goldfrapp's debut album, "Felt Mountain." In fact, this album more or so steers in the direction of Goldfrapp's brilliant debut. It shows Goldfrapp's versatility to reinvent themselves by paying homage to "Felt Mountain", while making this album more modern and listener friendly. While it's definitely more tame in regards to their last work, "Seventh Tree" still packs a glamorous punch; but it's just not as 'up-in-your-face' with the dazzle as "Supernature" proved to be. What "Seventh Tree" does is solidify Goldfrapp as one of the best musical acts to be found today. With it's epic and gorgeously melodic sounds, combined with their skillful production, and a grand vocal performance from Alison Goldfrapp, "Seventh Tree" is a fine addition to the ever expanding genius of Goldfrapp's musical catalog.
Like walking through golden fields in summer...
a great new sound for goldfrapp that they pull off wonderfully.
Clowns (5/5): My favorite on this record & easily one of their best songs of all time.
Little Bird (1/5): One of my least favorites, nothing special, but it could grow on my in time.
Happiness (5/5): My second favorite. Pure Goldfrapp pop.
Road to Somewhere (4/5): Nice, atmospheric tune.
Eat Yourself (5/5): Great ballad-like song...one of the best on here.
Some People (1/5): There's nothing I like about this song right now.
A&E (5/5): Great, get's better with each listen.
Cologne Cerrone Houdini (4/5): Another song that grows on you.
Caravan Girl (4/5): Didn't really like it at first, but it's becoming catchier and catchier.
Monster Love (3/5): Just o.k.
The Best Chillout Album of 2008. Hands down!
It's finally here, Goldfrapp's follow up to their electro-glam disco album Supernature. No doubt anybody who discovered this über cool band during the release of that album might be disappointed with Seventh Tree, their brand new album. Stylistically, this is a HUGE departure from both Supernature and Black Cherry, the band's second album... mellow, folky, Beatle-esque, Kate Bush-esque, Cocteau Twins-esque. But, still they manage to keep their sound familiar, fresh and memorable.
I discovered this duo while their first album, Felt Mountain, was new. I loved them then, and I continue to love them. They have yet to release anything mediocre. Suffice it to say if you like Alison's voice and the excellent musical production from Will Gregory and have enjoyed this band's work since Felt Mountain, Seventh Tree will not disappoint.
If you prefer Goldfrapp's electro-glam material and want more, you may be disappointed, but I keep hearing people say that after several listens, it becomes addictive. This is übercool intelligent chillout pop.
Enjoy!
