Goldfrapp, The lovely synth…


So Today I’ll talk about a band that with it’s first album captured all of my curiosity; Goldfrapp.

This band commanded by Alison Goldfrapp was a true revelation for me when I listened “Lovely Head” it was such an experience!, Lovely Head is (At least for me) Goldfrapp’s master piece, a synthesizer was heavily used to create this song yet it’s still so dramatic, melancholic and so warm you can actually feel Alison’s feeling through the speakers/headphones, the experience is so Magic and as the lyrics in that song mention; “It starts in my belly, then up to my heart…” and that’s exactly what happened to me with that combination of Alison’s angelical voice, the violins and the synth, it just made me shiver, it was so powerful that I had to get that album which did not disappointed me, “Felt mountain” is a beautiful and rich album, but “Lovely head” and “Pilots” are for sure the cherry in that cake, yet the whole album is fantastic and so unique that classic instruments such as violins and piano sound spectacular even combined with the Synthesizer, just magic.

Then there are the other albums, “Black Cherry”, “Supernature” and “Seventh Tree” Albums that deserve to be described appart given their Electro-Pop Nature, Yet I’ll include the Video for “Strict Machine” below.

Enjoy.
