\"Alison<\/p>\n

Besides being one of the most gorgeous women in rock, Alison Goldfrapp also one of its most mesmerizing voices. But it hasn’t all been about her voice. Since Felt Mountain<\/em>, three albums ago, Goldfrapp has been restlessly exploring new vibes from album to album. From the eerie dreaminess of that debut to the funky dance hall sleaziness of Black Cherry<\/em> to the cleaned up electroni-cized pop of Supernature <\/em>there’s been a new vista granted with each outing.<\/p>\n

They’ve just dropped a new single to whet our appetite for the February release of the outfit’s fourth album, Seventh Tree<\/em><\/a>. Though an advance single does not an album make, it does sound like we’re again veering yet a new direction. The single is softer, more rolled back, evoking a touch of Goldfrapp nostalgia, reigning in the edgy bounce of the last couple albums. It’s an interesting track, but I need more than just these three and a third minutes to know whether the album itself will keep the glitter train going. We need more.<\/p>\n

Another point of anticipation is that Goldfrapp tends to mix very well. There are already a couple decent mixes of this song floating around out there, including a pair by Gui Boratto. But if we get anything near as interesting as the growling, ecstatic “We Are Glitter” remix of “Strict Machine” that cropped up on Sasha’s Fundacion mix a couple years back then it will be a happy occasion indeed.<\/p>\n
