    Hello guys, 

    I'm new here and from France :)
    Can somebody write down the lyrics of "Drew" please?
    I have to admit that I don't get everything...

    I looove the video. It's just amazing how Alison and Will still manage to create a entire new atmosphere for each album :x

    Thanks :)

    Pull up the blinds
    Open the door wide
    Feel the cold arrive
    In my bones

    Put on my face
    The way I dressed today
    Feel like you tonight
    On my day

    Falling little more
    You bumped and crashed in dirty snow
    Up to our sin, I might as well
    Melt into Sunday

    Remember the time
    We stood there by the lake
    Watching boats and waves
    Pretty white clouds

    The sun will sweat
    In fact the song begins
    Trees are your skin
    On my tongue

    Falling little more
    You bumped and crashed in dirty snow
    Up to our sin, I might as well
    Melt into Sunday

    Pull up the blinds
    Open the door wide
    Feel the cold arrive
    In my bones

    You, me and more
    We bumped and crashed in dirty snow
    Up to our sin, we might as well
    Melt into Sunday

    La la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la
    We know you’re, you’re not how it seems
    Don’t have a point

    You’re not there for the stay
    When I will wish you could
    Wish that you were there

    You could
    You’re dying in here
    You could be here soon
    You stumble on a river

    I played drew to someone very special to me last night, someone I have shared many a goldfrapp adventure with. its a mutual appreciation thing. I wish that something could heal the past and we could share our adventures again. the tears are real as drew plays over in my head . remember the time...

    Wasn't it Annabel that got a mention as being 'first release' or a similar phrase in the previous radio natter with Alison on 6 Music?

    (I may be very wrong - it's been known!)

    I'm thinking the first single will be "Drew" since that's the first video they shot months ago.  The video for "Annabel" was shot late May/early June, so I feel that will be the second single.  Either way, I'm excited for new music!

    Drew is actually also a very good choice imho.
    It's got some very catchy la-la-la's at the end.

    Aw boo! Mute uploaded the video to their Vimeo account (2 days ago, but it was private until now) but they disabled downloading the original file or even streaming it in 1080p. What then is the point of having a Vimeo account Mute? We could download the original file for the trailer, it was insane quality [-(

    I'm not sure I have a good enough link to get that HD version downloaded from the Goldfrapp website.  Sigh. I sure hope so.  Unbelievable but, really, the more you think about it, the more it seems that single is just for collectors purposes.  The confidence that seems to portray is just as breathtaking as "Drew".  I love it!

    Thank you @tweety @Whickwithy ((hugs)) all around.

    I have had Drew on a loop tidying up the conservatory and it is atill catching me at times...have a feeling that 'they' will be high up on my favourite list now. That is unless the whole of TOU is parallel and then I will not know where to put myself.

    The song is so beautiful, especially the strings. And the video is... breathtaking... It's truely a good first single. And somehow I can't help myself thinking that Alison joined the ménage à trois and that's why she smiled at the end of the video. :)

    For me it just comes up where the trailer was. I think they've just replaced it? It starts with the hands doing the Goldfrapp stamp bit then goes into the video.

    Therre are one or two moments in the strings that made me think of early Scott Walker, during the Scott 1-3 period? A little breath of Wally/Angela magic.?

    When we got a feel for the fact there might be big strings involved I did wonder/hope this migfht be the case, knowing how much of a fan Alison is. So pleased it might be panning out that way.

    maybe it'll just take a while to update. Whenever the trailer was uploaded, I still saw the old portal site for about an hour before it changed.

    Depending what browser you have it might be worth trying the equivalent "Reload Web Page" option.
    It's CTRL+F5 on some browsers.

    Alternatively, it might be the DNS tables (ie the way the internet routes from what you type to the destination) still resolving if they are switching between a WIP server for the site and a live one when changes are made.

    Hope one of those helps!

    This link should work.

    Otherwise, go to the goldfrapp site (little things) or twitter and find the note that says, "“#Drew is here. Enjoy. http://t.co/UNRuMWfDCP” and hit the link.

    I'm just guessing because that link is taking forever to download...but, I'm pretty sure that's it...

    The only reason I'm responding is that I understand how much it could be drivng you crazy, as it is me waiting for the darned thing to load.

    If the site isn`t updating (I mean the site goes to the old video - not waiting like Rewaks and HJs points above and below) , its not the sites fault or the designers , its probably that your ISP is caching pages instead of refetching them - only when your ISP allows the cache to update will your page update when you visit it .

    Can I just repeat, for anyone waiting for the video to load - on the Goldfrapp website... if you are using Internet Explorer (IE 10 in my case)... I waited a long time and it never appeared. (No amount of refreshing helped.) Whereas with Firefox (ver 20), it loaded/played within seconds.

    This may be due to HTML5 incompatibilities with IE, as rewak mentioned.

    Any word on a single release and a promo cd-r with an instrumental and an edit on it like Melancholy Sky had before its release? Perhaps it will even include one of the recorded songs that didn't make it on the regular edition of the album as a b-side?

    Erm, well it's pretty much 7T if anything. It will take a few listens to get used to it. I will listen to it without watching the video.
    The video for me well, not sure what sort of a message thats giving out but not to my liking at all. I just dont get what the necessity of being arty has to include nakedness! It doesn't tell me anything just cheapens it. Hey ho maybe it's just the way I've been brought up.

    4/5 listens get's the thumbs up from me, I like, love in fact the darker image, exactly the opposite to the  last offering (whic I also like/love). Nicely arranged, epic sound, it might be compared to as a bit 7T/FM but it sounds different to these ears at any rate, a new era for Goldfrapp again and I love it....

    thats a shame you're not keen Bells  :(
    were you not that taken with 7T either?

    i think the thing with nudes is they represent an unfettered image, for me i see a memory, one thats unspoiled by the drudgery of every day life or reality. a moment in time thats remembered as one of those 'perfect' moments. i think the songs quite sensuous and for me the video fits that well. but hey... we all take different things from what we see and hear.

    My interpretation is they're naked because they're either dead, imaginary, or just memories, which is why the keep appearing and disappearing in the video. When Alison walks into the room at the end of the video and see's herself standing at the window with the people in bed then begins to shed her clothes that's a sign that either she's died or she's entered her imaginary world again (either a fantasy world, a memory she wants to change, or some kind of split personality going on). But that's just my opinion.

    That's along the lines I thought too, that she was shedding her clothes to give in to her yearning for her memories which, in effect, is what the figures are/were?

    @Bells I get where you are coming from.  I hate nakedness for the sake of it or in an objectifying crass way, see that Thicke plonker as an example *VOMIT*

    This doesn't irk me the same way, I think it is nicely done & fits in well, even though something I am not usually fond of in a video.

    I'm rationing myself (always better not to hear singles too much before you hear the album so you don't unbalance the flow of it) but the more I do play it then the more I hear the differences in it's musical genetics from its obvious Goldfrapp musical parents.

    The use of strings & orchestration in general is actually quite different than they've done before and the song structure (especially the latter half) is quite unusual for them on one of their own albums. It definitely moves from Goldfrapp parts to Goldfrapp Soundtrack parts and I think that gives it a good progression over it's length from the push that the changes bring it.

    ( ...) When Alison walks into the room at the end of the video and see's herself standing at the window with the people in bed then begins to shed her clothes that's a sign that either she's died or she's entered her imaginary world again (...)



    I think it's the latter, because immediately after that they cut to Alison/character riding the bike with that big, contented smile on her face, looking like she is thinking about something quite pleasant.

    Then again just my two cents...

    Sad to say, Carpy, but I have to agree with you.  Sitting in front of a PC is not my favorite venue for listening.  Taking a very long walk with ToU will be bliss.

    Errr, hope that came out right.  Ummm, not sad to agree with you, just sad that your assessment matched mine.

    Watching it a third time, I get the odd impression that the Naked Trio represents children, or at least uninhibited innocence? They engage in pillow fights, leave the stairs cluttered like children normally would, play with toy planes--pretty much just frolic all throughout the video. Essentially, I think Alison is playing Drew, who is taking a walk down memory lane with past friends (just with the current image of his past friends).

    Not that my interpretation is right LOL. I'd love to see what Alison/Will/Lisa have to say about the video's theme.

    that was lovely. i got a weird little stab of excitement when alison's voice came in! i don't know if i can say much about the song itself that hasn't been said already... now i have to decide whether i want to listen to it again or wait for the album, lol

    gorgeous video/film! the bit at the end with alison climbing the cluttered stairs was wonderful, the smirky bike riding was wonderful... alison's outfit/shoes were AMAZING. (so much better than the weird denim jumpsuits from head first)

    although i do wish it was less... low-contrast, i would have liked for the blacks to have been more black and less grey. my one personal little nitpick. oh well

    I have been watching the video all day long and I guess that this video tells the story of an unconventional love affair happened in a past life. I believe that the trio of lovers have passed away in the past and it seems that Alison for some reasons she doesn't know (YET) is just following the steps of their lives, their love affair, their games, their house and their garden. She walks in the places where the trio used to love and Alison seems to be involved in this love affair. She follows the young naked lady that brings Alison in the garden and dances with her, she makes a toy plane fly with the help of one of the men, she discovers the bed where the trio used to love and here we see a "second" Alison standing at the window as the "today Alison" walks in. This makes me think that the Alison standing at the window has been waiting for a long time to be found by the "today Alison" as now she can join again her previous lovers & friends, getting naked and laying in the same bed with the trio. Sorry for my English, quite difficult try to explain this interpretation in a language that it's not my own!!!

    No, it's a good question. :) You do need to get hold of an add-on which lets you download videos from Youtube. The one I use is just called 'Download Helper' (google to find it). When installed it should give you a list of the videos it's detected (ie the various resolutions... obviously you'd normally choose to download the highest res one). It's free and works with 99% of clips on YT. I have the Firefox version.

    Yeah, that Pilots..  To me, videos should be just as high art as the music and it is seldom that I see any that are worthy of that term.  ToU looks like it's there.  I was always dying to do some with cartoons for videos.  There's a song by Traffic, "Low spark of high heeled boys" that I always envisioned an awesome video for.  Or, this song by Maroon 5.

    I love how everybody keeps hearing different lyrics. It's so funny how a voice and a song so beautiful can pronounce words so uncannily unhearable. It's like she sings through her nose with a lot of air thrown in. It produces questionably sung lyrics that are supposed to tell stories we do not understand without reading the lyrics. Yet it doesn't butcher the song or the feeling of the essence at all. That is strange yet truly remarkable. She communicates in between the lines, in the melody, the arrangement, the strings, the visuals, the breathing in and out. It is there where I find more depth to the story than the unhearable lyrics.

    Am I still making sense?
    On a sidenote: there are better songs than Drew on the album so launching the album with it as a single was kind of a surprise to me. The entire album is gorgeous, but Drew as a first would not have been my choice. It would have been a different song. But that said, to me this is not a 'singles' album. The album as a whole stands very strong as a strangely coherent narrative, lifting pieces from it (which you cannot avoid in the music industry) is almost like cutting a paragraph from a book and presenting it on its own.

    I can't wait for the Box. I hope they put Lee and C-Tune on it as bonuses. More Tales please.

    I'm still honestly floored by just how good this song and video are. If the rest of the album is this fantastic, then, well, they might just have made their most accomplished album to date.

    Dont worry Bells, I didnt like much of 7th tree, they were still great live. I just had to pretend the may pole n hippy shit wasnt on stage



    My face was like this when I first heard 7T  :-?? but it grew big time on me after their Royal Albert Hall gig, probably as that was the first time I had ever seen them live.
    This, however, I know the song will grow on me as for me personally they have never done a bad song. I just have an issue with what I would refer to as nudity in basically what is a "pop" video. It may get tarted up in the name of art but it just puts me off as I find it very distracting and quite honestly pointless (in my opinion). Maybe some people on here will think Im being prudish which I personally dont think I am, its just for me BC era of imagery was far too over-sexualised so I just concentrated on the music and I can see I shall be doing the same with this album. 
    Do I really now want to travel to Manchester and London to pay a lot of money to a band that I dont just like but love and adore to be confronted of imagery that quite frankly should have died out years ago in some dodgy soft porn film. I know theres no sex in the video before anyone says anything and nowhere near as bad as your average Snoop Dog video but I thought Goldfrapp were more intelligent than this. Seriously dont think I want to fork out for the box set now and might just get the album instead. The gig are starting to look very different in my eyes and I feel quite upset to say I might have to distance myself from this new stuff already.
    Maybe Im just in a bad place at the moment so not in the right mood for getting into this right now??

    Ok,hello all;-D

    I really liked Head First(I prefer heartbreaking Felt Mountain and "folky"Seventh Tree)so this new venture makes me f******g mental;-D I watch Drew and the trailer over and over again.

    I get this rush of enthusiasm that I've got when I first discovered Goldfrapp.They are back to their roots(at least for what I consider their core).

    I'm very pleased to join again.I was July on the old forum(avatar with Roisin Murphy sticking out her tonque)

    Cheers;-***

    I can sure understand where you are coming from, HB.  It's like I was saying in another thread, I kinda miss the old days when Disney and G-rated movies were the only game in town.  But, really, this doesn't bother me near as much as some things from the past.  At least it's humans in it.  And, it was done with a LOT more class and taste than some of the stuff from the past.  I guess, personally, I can always right off the video and I think the show will be very classy but, of course, that is just a guess.

    Drew is so keen on switching the moods,it starts with something pleasant and cosy,a bit reminiscent of monster love(like someone already noticed) then those incredible strings and then the atmosphere is getting a tad tense and colder and of course this vocalizing after 3:48 gives me chills.

    I'm very,very excited,I can't recall being this aroused about an album release for about 5 years;-D

    The little pervert in me also likes small things like "I smell your sweat",so sensual and tender;-P

    Uh... Bells?

    BC is basically sex ran through a WAV file and stuck on a CD. It's all sex songs. 

    So the imagery fits perfectly. It's like listening to a porn film but not watching it. Which is very distracting on public transport I tells thee.

    Still - new stuff. I was wondering why there's so many replies for what I thought was just a single announcement.

    "Haunting" is exactly the term that came to my mind.  And,
    "reminiscent".  Pretty amazing really, because those two words are
    conveyed more by the sounds than the lyrics or the video.

    Yeah I haven't began the process of really deciphering lyrics but others here seem to be doing a grand job I am just really trapped in the music, which is quite simple but effective, really blown away by the vocal melodies and the strings particularly. Really interesting choice as this just isn't hit single material so a brave move commercially, I'll get the 7" single version for sure ;)

    Wonder it they are REAL strings on Drew (synths are getting very good these days). Certainly sounds good on the headphones.  :-)

    I didn't want to really comment until i'd had a full day with it. Funny when Rocket was released it was a very emotional time in my life so, like then, it's hard to be objective. At least this goes with my meloncholy mood.

    But, yes it's is proper old school Frapp and I to LOVE IT :). I think the way the board was talking (plus that MIX TAPE 1 choices) it was what everyone wanted. Almost full circle to the Accelerator soundtrack (first thing she did
    with Will). Hope the feel is kept throughout the album. I loved
    the change of direction on Seventh Tree but some of the album didn't go where I expected/wanted it to go. Didn't feel like a complete album like the others, more a mixture of EP's.

    I think HEAD FIRST was a very important album for Frapp as it got the whole glam /disco thing out their (and our) system and made them realise what they are good at and what stands the test of time. It also thinned out the party crowd back down to the hardcore. :-)



    As for nudity, if anyone got into Goldfrapp around the Black Cherry/Supernature period you can hardly be shocked by the Drew video! When I met my partner she knew I was a big fan so she bought the first 2 albums. She was quite shocked at how sexualised it was, i really focus on music not lyrics so i hadn't really thought about it. But all through her work there has been sexual references. Field of Penis' on Supernature (infact sure i saw a naughty Lovely Head cover) and naughty drawings in ST book.

    Where as I think the Drew video is much more innocent and tasteful, referencing a 'Brideshead Revisted' / french film type extravagance from a past era. I'm actually a lot more comfortable with this than the whole BC/Supernature nipple tassles era.

    I was thinking about that too. the tassles and the mud wrestling and the artwork for the BC Singles were that bit more obvious direct (nothing wrong with that either) this seems much more seraphic in some way.

    I have no problem at all with sexualised references or imagery. Except when it's exploitative. Which BC/Supernature wasn't.

    Er...or when it's "tasteful". For me, the Drew video uses too many cliches - the discarded undies on the stairs, the feathery pillow fight -  ugh!  Lazy shortcuts in place of original, emotionally real imagery.

    Luckily, I dont really care about the video, and the music is great.

    I think the video is referencing films and novels. A homage type thing.

    But, I was watching the new Brideshead Revisited film the other month and my partner told me when she was young she used to hang out at a friend's house with servants (and parents rarely there) and they had crazy summers in a huge house/grounds and anything they requested they got brought out to them. Her friend really had no inhibitions, she had her own world with no barriers (turned out she was a bit crazy aswell). In some ways the girl in question never had to grow up like normal kids.

    The thing is Goldfrapp are all about taking existing art and re-packaging it. These days where nothing is new and everything is repackaged it's a thin line between Homage and Cliche! And Goldfrapp often walk that line. Nothing new.

    IMO Goldfrapp are only really original, as artists, in their execution rather than their actual creation of music. Their musical references to other artists are pretty obvious if you have any knowledge of music and i'm sure Ali and Will will happily admit that. It is near enough impossible to be original in pop music these days (that is for the avant garde artists to continue and 'pop' music to take the best bits from). The skill of any pop artist is when and how you use those references, how you combine them and the skill, care and execution of the final product.

    So with that in mind i think their video's will always reflect this. I mean dancing girls is probably one of the biggest cliches you can get in a pop video! I am glad to see the back of them.

    I do agree though, like most pop videos, they may not be to everyone's 'taste'. My favourite artists very rarely make my favourite videos, Goldfrapp being a prime example. They have done way too many 'performance' type videos for my liking. I will always go with a story video no matter how cliche. Any Mylene Farmer fans will understand. :-) 

    I don't get too excited about videos any more. As long as they reflect and help you understand the song and give you a visual reference point for the artist they have done their job. They can be happily forgotten and lost on youtube in years to come, in my view. It's the music (and your own imagery) that will live on for ever.

    Tatt Maylor saideth unto us :IMO Goldfrapp are only really original, as artists, in their execution rather than their actual creation of music. 




    Yes , their execution is much greater than the sum of the parts (and the word I didn`t realise I was looking for)  , Alisons vocal inflection is what makes their music powerful and original to me (personally) .
     I also prefer a story driven video , to me it can feel more of a visual journey and more connected to the music through it (if I like it that much) . Some of the imagery can drive little forget-me-nots into my brain - I can walk through a concrete stanchioned car park on my own in a dropped out mindset and an image/music from The Chauffeur snaps to my mind (you either know what I`m talking about or not...um ..umm ahem) .

    maybe i have more a relaxed view on the nude form... heh.

    EDIT - i do think there would have been more shock if alison had flashed her boobies at the end of the video.



    Funnily enough , it made me laugh when the 3 of them were running in the hall and the field - no matter how muscular or fit you are as a man , male dangly bits look funny when a man runs nekkid.......

    It was a comedians observation (cant recall who) , which I noticed as my Mrs dared me to run up and down the garden (covered in 6 inches of snow) naked . After 1 minute I resembled an out of shape Ken doll .

    Its not "sexy" because of the nudity. Im not fussed by that its the medias reaction to the nudity that will be such a cliché.

    It would still be better if Chris Cunningham did it.

    I didn`t find it particulalry sexy due to the nakedness either , I thought some parts were touching . I would start a thread to guess the tabloid headlines but that would probably get out of hand . "Sexy Al has a bit of Ooh la la with 4 in a bed shocker" only actually funny , with more alliteration and words with less syllables  .

    To me, the video suggests a longing for an earlier time in one's life that was free, natural, innocent, playful, and sensual (remember the time...by the lake...etc.) She now finds herself alone, haunted by these memories in an empty house (considerably larger than my own!), paint peeling, crumbling walls, surrounded by whispers and echoes of the past (nude, innocent, playful people running through but not really there; phantom memories). Finally she decides to shed (removing clothes to get in bed with her past) the cynicism and joylessness of adulthood (the cold of my bones) and return to a life of wonder. That's just my take. Whatever the intent, the video is pretty and the MUSIC is both haunting and cheerful. Love it. I want more.

    And yes, it may be cliche but it's well done. Nostalgia, longing, and loneliness are universal themes and symbolizing them invites cliche. To embrace (what I think is) the message of the song is to let go of the criticism and even the idea of love being cliche. That's a concept intentionally left on the crumbling floor, like the clothes she chooses to shed.

    I hope the show tonight is fantastic, and FILMED. :)

    Hmm, these are the best lyrics I could come up with. It's a tough one, although it's nothing new for Goldfrapp :)

    pull up the blinds,
    open the door wide,
    feel the cold arrive,
    in my bones.

    powder my face,
    away I dress tonight,
    feel like you tonight,
    on my date.

    Falling little moon
    you burned and crash in dirty snow
    all to ascend
    I might as well
    melt into sunday.

    Remember the time,
    we stood there by the lake,
    watching boats and planes,
    three white clouds.

    I swam, I swam,
    I felt the sun begin,
    dreams of your skin,
    on my tongue.

    Falling little moon
    you burned and crash in dirty snow
    all to ascend
    I might as well
    melt into Sunday.

    -

    pull up the blinds
    open the door wide
    feel the cold arrive
    in my bones

    You me and the moon
    we burned and crash in dirty snow
    all to ascend
    we might as well
    melt into Sunday.

    la la la la ......     (the rest is impossible)

    Hiya.  Longtime Goldfrapp fan.  Saw them at their very first US gig back in the Felt Mountain days - back when Mr. G was an on stage member of the band - and have been hooked ever since.  I was at a work retreat and just got back.  Heard/saw "Drew" for the first time today and, um, well I agree.  It's absolutely spectacular.  Their music has always been cinematic but this is, by far, their best audio-visual experience.  In the past I've heard Alison express disappointment in their videos.  I never got that because I've always enjoyed their videos but after watching "Drew" I get it.  She's probably had rather grand, cinematic images in her head which never quite came to fruition.  Well, she's certainly got an artistic match in Lisa.  Every moment in this piece - every gesture, every glance, every movement of the camera is exquisitely chosen and perfectly matched to this lovely song.  I guess that Supernature money is coming in handy because this cannot have been an inexpensive shoot.  

    Oh, and, as much as I adore this woman, I do think it's a bit silly to say she hasn't aged.  This is a well produced, beautifully lit video with stylists, makeup artists etc.  Alison is a beautiful woman, but she clearly has aged.  And I'm not saying that to be snarky.  I just think we should acknowledge, embrace and celebrate our strong female cultural figures as they age.  All things end.  Even youth.  Alison has clearly aged, but she has done so with grace and loveliness.

    Of course, I agree but, there are shots (yes, it is brilliant filming) that do not show the age at all.  She might as well be twenty-five.  Err, and what Carpy said.  I must agree that trying to hide that we age is insane.

    I referenced "Monster Love" back at the start of when it was released , what I didn't mention was that I was referring to the acoustic version they played at KCRW, a heart breaking, guitar driven melancholica-fest and it's the acoustic guitar line that's similar to Drew . Only on the acoustic version does the geetar come out of the mix.

    So, onwards on my train to somewhere

    Yes absolutely! It's merely a compliment, to say that a ladies beauty is such that it is unaffected by age. It's much more than skin deep. Personally, i think she's sexier now than she's ever been.

    I am hypnotized and mesmerized by this video. It's evoked in me a sensual state of mind. It's brought tears to my eyes reviving in me memories long lost that I held sacred for a time.
    "To remember is to begin to live again" and this is how she feels at the end of the video when she maliciously smiles. I've been watching the video a lot these past days trying to find a meaning, specially when she enters the room and the other Alison looks at her. Maybe could it be that, she has changed so much from that time when she lived that experience and now is looking back at it from a different perspective?.
    I love the tune. It's so pretty. The bass is reminiscent of 80's boleros (Julio Iglesias) and a vibe of Cologne Cerrone Houdini, and the strings once again inspired by Nick Drake.
    I am very pleased and currently in such a sensual state of mind.

    Im wondering if the birdsong on the video will be part of the album track. Hope so - better yet, if it could appear throughout the whole album as a part of the atmospherics

    This is where the video was filmed, and the people are the previous residents of the house. I dunno if any possible resemblance is intentional or coincidental, but maybe there's something there? I don't know the peoples names so i dunno if anyones there's called Drew, or if that's even applicable given Clay.

    In their (objective) and technical defence , radio edits are for radio not for sitting in ones armchair , the frequencies that radios blast out of their speakers isn`t good for say strings , so using the aural bandwidth on strings is wasted , so cutting them out and boosting the other frequencies so the track will stand out and be audible on the shitty sound that comes out of radios . That`s a paraphrased explanation from Computer Music , the poor quality of radio speakers means the sound has to match the shitty speakers to travel into peoples earlugs to be heard and not for audio excellence .

    On Drew.

    Someone on utube described the video as "the art of memory".. totally, yes.. but still, i couldn't help think that, given the video which flashes back and forth, and the arrangements, that there is both past/a remembrance and present/now sense of time happening simultaneously.. compositionally, much of the song is melancholic/in a memory but it's at the parts when alison sings "in my bones" that the notes become happy and light, as if to suggest a newness, (re)discovering... the video dramatises this with alison descending the staircase in the beginning, to ascend it and join the lovers at the end... when then there seems to be two alison's.. as if memory and the present coalesce, resulting in that smile in the forest...  

    and there's the difference between the low contrast (memory/dream state) B&W and the high contrast (the present/the bike ride)..

    Both the stringed "BOM-BOM" and Alison's "Laa de-daa de-daa daaa daaa daaaaaaaa" bits have taken hold and are frequeently waving to me from between my ears.

    Drew should have dropped into iTunes the same day the video appeared.

    see video link -> watch video -> like video -> buy tune

    From a "promotion to purchase" point of view it seems like the path you'd have thought they'd have enabled otherwise the end step becomes 'rip video soundtrack' or 'find download elsewhere' for those who want it there and then.

    Who is Drew?

    Being perfectly honest, I have to say I am absolutely in love with Drew, both song and visuals. Visuals first. I love the use of monochrome throughout, it creates a sense of nostalgia while feeling timeless. It is beautifully artistic and stylishly made, the lighting and execution is exquisite, especially the close ups of Alison and the sweeping aerial shots of the mansion and countryside. Alison seems to be haunted by visions of three naked friends? But the sense of nostalgia here doesn't seem melancholy, instead, the evocative images that Alison sees, seem to trigger certain thoughts that revive a sense of self within her. 
    This sense self is the rekindled sense of carefree 'naked' abandonment which we see realised in her beautiful mischievous grin at the end. Is Drew a first love? An alter ego? A Ghost? Its all very ambiguous, but I kind of like that. The song: wow.....where to start. It's a beautiful sensual haunting affair, gorgeously arranged. Love the cinematic quality, the strings are gorgeously addictive while Alison seduces with with a soft whisper, developing into soaring haunting almost cries of longing. Utterly utterly beautiful. A definite stand out live track last week in Manchester too. Lots of utterings of 'masterpiece' being used in the same sentence as Tales of Us by critics already. I have a feeling this is one album that is going to get under all our skins, slowly, sensually...until we all give in. I've given in already. Thanks Alison & Will. 

    As for the nudity, I don't find it lewd or gratuitous or off putting, being naked is natural and nudity in art has existed throughout time. It doesn't bother me at all. I cannot wait for the album and the rest of the accompanying visuals. It's so exciting...even the waiting, the anticipation is part of the story.

    It's 1,000 miles, and within 5 days - I think it's 96 hours riding time allowed though it has been done in about 45  Totally amateur event run every 4 years and about 1,000 riders with easily as many more disappointed.

    The funny thing about Drew is the more I hear it, the less it reminds me of FM or 7T and the more it sounds like its own animal.

    I'm with you there, I believe Tales of Us to be a different animal to FM & 7T, and think of those albums as just a reference point, but this really is something fresh ;)

    I instantly assumed girl as my mind associated the name with Drew Barrymore.  However, I shouldn't have assumed and am now as eager as you to find out.

    A bit of trivia here - the birdsong at the start and end are Chaffinches and Great Tits. Typical British woodland sound around late April/May, before the summer warblers arrive.

    Drew promotion cd on E-Bay up in 8 hours from now. I think i will put a bid in late on. They should not be on sale although having said that even normal cds should not either if you look at the copyright rules. The Satin one is nearly up too. That one is quite rare. I took a long time to get hold of that and the pilot cds.

    How is it possible that Drew,to this time,has only over 170K views?Don't even get me started about silly things that have views in millions.Since when appreciation for beauty and good taste(ok,disbutable matter but still...) became so niche?

    Beautiful song,flowering brilliantly and incredible,gentle video with strong imagery.

    I don't think this has been spotted yet (it's a busy board!) but there's a comment about the technical side of the Drew video from Brian Strange on Vimeo in reply to a comment about the style of the video.

    Music Video for Goldfrapp's "Drew"

    Arri Alexa/Red Epic Cooke S4 prime lenses

    Very early on in preproduction we decided to go for a black and white dreamy and ethereal look. It was achieved with some heavy Schneider Classical soft filters and a bit of deliberate overexposure and soft lighting to give it that white beauty look. We added a bit of milkiness in post to further push the look towards a French 1920's feel

    Maybe, maybe not, they've said they're not doing a proper single push for this album so we might not get a release, and if we do it might be nothing more than a 1 track download.

    And Latrice should have been in the top 3, Phi Phi O'Puke shouldn't have made it anywhere near as far as she did. I need to watch the latest season, i completely missed all of it.

    I loved Chad but Phi Phi was just a two-faced nasty bitch.

    And I was rooting for Sharon the entire time, she truly deserved to win. (Although my Dad thought otherwise, he was rooting for Chad. But we watched All Stars together and Chad won so he was happy.) ;)

    There is no release. Just promos. Drew a week earlier would have been smart for iTunes: pre-order now and download Drew in advance, like Gaga did with Applause which is the album pre-order track. Order it: download the track, and the rest when the album comes.

    I mean goodness! With TWO videos out and Drew promos out I don't see why they are not doing something remotely like that to push the release. They are missing SO many opportunities and SO much momentum to link material directly to pre-orders/sales the way they've been doing it since it was announced. Drew should have been out the second they released the video and pressed the promos. At the same time they should have launched pre-order now and download Drew, something they could have pushed in the App that followed etc. and then Annabel a week before release? If there is nothing but a dry release next week, Annabel should have been released on the day of release to push the availability of the album at that date.

    Marketing. Is anybody listening?!

    Drew not out. Monday it is then.

    Drew initially suffered a bit for me on the album due to being so familiar as the first Tale told as a single.

    Now, after a weeks play, it's starting to reassert itself in the context of the others and is even stronger for that.

    That latter huge strings & vocal runs half is quite something.
