Title: Tales of Us Artist: Goldfrapp Label: Mute UK Indie Product Type: COMPACT DISCS UPC: 5099961576025 Genre: Electronic
Digi-pack with 20 page booklet. Goldfrapp release their stunningly beautiful new album 'Tales of Us' through Mute on 9 September 2013. Their sixth album, 'Tales of Us' is written and produced by band members Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and was recorded at their studio in the English countryside. A sumptuous body of work, 'Tales of Us' has been two years in the crafting and is their most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording so far. Nothing in their accomplished back catalogue has hinted at the new lyrical breadth that the band have introduced to 'Tales of Us'. All the songs bar one are named in the first person with a cast list of evocative character sketches, the contrary love affairs, the suspense, hallucinations, fairy tales and modern folklores documented and the traces of redemption they find in song take the poetry of Goldfrapp's delicately considered music somewhere brand new. The band's last album, "Head First," received a Grammy nomination for the best Electronic/Dance Album following it's 2010 release; the set has sold 39,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Goldfrapp also released a greatest hits collection, "The Singles," in 2012.
