Goldfrapp

Felt Mountain

Debut album from Goldfrapp Dark seductive beguiling and deeply cinematic Inspiration from classical music movie soundtracks 60s french pop and weimar republic cabaret What you might not expect is quite the depth of Alison Goldfrapp's beguiling distracting 21stCentury noir visions on 'Felt Mountain' She and her fellow composer Will Gregory can mix in Brechtian cabaret classical instrumentation leftoffield electronics decadent Gainsbourgstyle French pop and the odd piece of whistling on just one track 'Felt Mountain' 'Oompa Radar' almost reaches Tom Waits heights of infamy the way familiar instruments come together in such a simultaneously comforting and alienating style The baroque 'Paper Bag' meanwhile uncannily recalls Joe Meek's toytown visions of 1960's grandeur All this and a seductive vocal to die for LP Deluxe 180 Gram White Vinyl
