Goldfrapp "Copy Cats"
In terms of Goldfrapp's "upbeat songs/directions," here are a few songs off the top of my head that sound like bootlegged Goldfrapp lol... GRANTED, I feel like Goldfrapp wouldn't sound "Goldfrapp" (from the Black C…

@TinSoldier: "Ironically, I'm surprised the accusation here isn't more of a sense of Silver Eye seeming as rushed as Alison feels Head First was." THIS. Exactly! This entire era I can't help but to think of the way Alison tr…

I feel like @Low said it best "The songs are solid but are missing that Goldfrapp 'oomph' for me"... I've said the exact same thing to my friends about this era. Even Goldfrapp's "quieter" eras like Tales of U…

Sigh, my honeymoon phase with the album has definitely passed, and all of my extreme/obsessed/fanboy excitement has fizzled out. As I feared (my initial gut reaction to the album was correct), the album doesn't have the longevity for me. I can&…

So I bought a Subpac-M2 (a wearable subwoofer vest) JUST for Silver Eye... and my life is no longer the same... I'm literally swimming in these songs... I can not imagine ever listening to Goldfrapp again with just speakers, or on a sound syste…

@Pawlusss said: "I keep thinking of Dusty Springfield when I hear Tigerman for some reason" I totally hear it after I watched her In Private video today, Tigerman came to mind instantly... the way Dusty sings/lingers on "tiiiime,"…

Something about the instrumentation or melody of the "Keep something back" section reminds me of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak... that's literally ALL I hear. Great song tho, one of my faves on Silver Eye

After listening to the songs that have leaked I can't help but look at this album as Goldfrapp doing Goldfrapp, or moreover, another band trying to do "Goldfrapp"... something about this feels almost twice removed? Does that even make…

Siiigh, it's likely to leak online now any minute I feel... someone on the Popjustice forum said they were able to buy a physical copy of the vinyl in stores today :o

Something about these 2 songs (Anymore & Ocean) don't have the longevity I'd want them too... this is the first time I'm experiencing this with Goldfrapp songs :( . Mind you, like you guys, I'm a HUGE fan (surprised I don…

I'm surprised this hasn't leaked yet. Has Silver Eye beaten the previous albums yet (in terms of time of leak before official release)?

Siiiigh :(( ... Alison replied to someone's comment on IG saying that HOPEFULLY they will have Autumn dates in Los Angeles :( ... L A M E ... this is quickly turning into the Tales of Us "tour." I LOOOOVE Goldfrapp (sonically, NOBODY …

What are you listening to now?
A decent little tune that I like more when I pretend it's Alison singing... very Goldfrappy :)

If it's general admission, it's first come first served... whoever lines up first is let in first and is in the front row. When I saw Goldfrapp in Oakland I was there at 9am... and was still 3rd in line (others ahead of me were there at 8)…

@Slippage, Haha yes I do try to listen to her latest work every now and then :D @Slippage @Jo_ey Haha, eek yes... let's get back on topic then :)) ... I wish Alison would have given a time for the video debut... ahh I can't wait!

Ahaha at "homosexy" =)) ! Speaking of Madonna (mind you, this is coming from one of her biggest fans, like I'm surprised I don't have a giant tattoo of her across my back), I like to pretend Confessions was her last album (her b…

Slightly off topic... sorry if this has been mentioned before somewhere here in the forum, but the album cover (aside from obviously looking like a painting from René Magritte) is totally giving me vibes of the Outer Limits' "Cry of Silenc…

@Gaelen Ooo yess, totally!Also, ever since you've posted about John Grant today, I've looked him up and started to listen and really like his work! So thank you :)

@Gaelen Ah, gotchya! I do totally hear the similarities as well between Become The One and Pale Green Ghosts

@Gaelen, I'm a bit confused by your critique of Become The One... I thought the only John producer on the new album is John Congleton, and not John Grant?

The most sounding "Haxan Cloak" song is definitely Ocean... the way it explodes... sounds like a track that can be directly from Health's 2015 Death Magic album... which he produced. Look it up! Oh, and also Zodiac Black (the end of t…

OMG... Become the One and Ocean are theeee standout tracks for me.... I would say Become the One is theeee most "Goldfrappy" one in terms of innovation... it's by far the most refreshing tack. The rest can easily be off of Supernature…

What are you listening to now?
From 1981 (originally a 1979 Cuddly Toys' song [David Bowie / Marc Bolan])... sounds VERY Train (Goldfrapp's song)
