Goldfrapp - 'Head First'

[Cerro de Casa]

Infamous 2010 album by The High Priestess of Art Pop.

Disliked?

Underrated fan fave?

Sellout moment?

Famously 'disowned' by Alison - but possibly to be revisited on the Felt Mountain tour thanks to the recent issue?


Whatever you want to say: let's face it: it's wall to wall bops. Make no mistake.

their weakest album without a doubt but i appreciate they wanted to have a bit of fun and good on them. i played the shit out of rocket but i find it a bit flat these days. never thought much of alive and i kinda hate i wanna life (worst title ever).

i've put it on.

it feels a bit slight as an album but there's a fantastic 5 track ep in there.

I remember being so pleasantly surprised by this album considering it was neither electropop or ambient, which they were known for. It was wall to wall gorgeous synth pop.

I saw this album live at the roundhouse and it was gorgeous

I might have been with a mooper actually, @Suedey is this what we went to see together? Or was it the folk album?

And yes it’s all about “Dreaming” - that would be a fresh bop even if released today

 

[POP!]

I will have to re-listen to refresh, I shamelessly love "Rocket".

Oh no wait we went to see Sheryl Crow…

Really feel this was with a mooper. Might have been @krang
