Lazy Tuesday: Accident & Emergency
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 at 9:51 amActually, it’s called “A&E”, but I didn’t want my US readers to think that Goldfrapp had recorded a song about the cable network. It’s the first single from their upcoming Seventh Tree and it’s wonderfully weird and strangely beautiful. For you Goldfrapp fans who are expecting another ‘boom-tss-boom-tss’ dance album, you may want to skip this one; however, you would be denying yourself a gorgeous, lush and successful attempt to grow musically. Of course, there will always be the remixes of the singles for those who only want the dance sound.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have heard Seventh Tree as I can neither confirm nor deny that it is just as good and may even be better than Supernature. You know something different is up if this is your love-it or hate-it album cover:
Howard loves it. It makes him squeal.
It’s so wonderfully 70’s in its look (plus I be lovin’ th’ pirate theme. Arrr.), but after seeing the video you’ll understand that there is a different theme going on: organic. Even though they are using mostly electronic instruments, the sound is warm and inviting. So without further ado, here is “A&E”.
Make sure to check out their official site. They are really piling on the bizarre and you get to hear “Clowns”.
Listening to: “Houses Of The Holy” - Led Zeppelin

You’re listening to Houses of the Holy? Only Bossy’s favorite, particularly The Crunge.

Believe it or not, I only recently purchased some Led Zeppelin once it was up on iTunes. I’m catching up on the classic rock bands that I shunned when I was a new wave snob in the 80’s.

The jury’s still out on this for me.
Some days I like it, others I don’t.
I have an interesting remix of it if you want it.

Oh, and Mary Kate and Ashley called, they want their pirate outfit back.

BD: You WILL love the new Goldfrapp. You WILL buy it on Feb 26. You WILL make every effort to plug the album on your blog. Oh, and these aren’t the robots you’re looking for.
Cameron: Don’t you mean, you can neither confirm nor deny that the album is great?

She’s never looked better and yes I am reminded of Kate Bush in the late 70s… I love that soft sepia look and this is one heck of a beautiful song… x
