More 5G Than Man
I figured we already had a Goldfrapp thread, as we do have some fans of theirs here at Interference, but I suppose I was mistaken.
Anyway, their new album Head First (a strong candidate for a plethora of Lance's mom and other miscellaneous Shuttlecock jokes) will be released Tuesday (it already leaked if you don't want to wait), and I just wanted to let you know that it's a very strong record. I'm only familiar with a couple of their singles, but this one has reeled me in. It's absolutely shameless, cheesy (dig the cover; I didn't know Hendrix had two posthumous releases coming out this year) and derivative, but everything is in its right place; from the shimmering synths, to the cool feminine vocals, right on down to the happy-go-lucky piano of the lovestruck "Alive," this record is right in line with countless great 2008 and 2009 synthpop releases, but holds the right to be ridiculous dear.
