Goldfrapp

Wednesday, February 3, 2010


Seventh Tree was unfairly maligned, but nonetheless I love the new Goldfrapp direction with Rocket, particularly the brilliant but inane lyrics ('I've got a rocket/you're goin' on it'). Jaunty, smiley bass, rockety bleepy sounds, a Light Years style countdown and a final rocket blast -- these are all very good things. And the new Xanadu inspired styling is ace, if somewhat derivative these days. But if there's anyone who deserves to do Xanadu, it's Alison Goldfrapp.

Xanadu!!! Makes my heart leap! You're right, she deserves access that legacy.

You're back! I love "Rocket" too. All the leaks have been good actually!
