GOLDFRAPP – SEVENTH TREE
The fourth album from duo Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory is refreshingly unlike the previous two albums. I think it is always admirable for a band to explore new territory, and even more so when it would be easier to follow the proven formula of success. Somewhat similar in feel to the debut “Felt Mountain,” SEVENTH TREE fully embraces a warmer, woodsy atmosphere, gentler and more folk-tinged than its predecessor. If Alison Goldfrapp were an elf, and “Felt Mountain” was recorded in a forest, it would have been Taur-nu-Fuin, while SEVENTH TREE would find its home in Eryn Lasgalen. In case you don’t speak Sindarin, those would be names for Tolkien’s Mirkwood Forest, before and after the reign of Sauron. That would also be possibly the nerdiest analogy ever penned.
