Goldfrapp has revealed that it’s fifth LP is incoming, with a release date of March 22nd. The album is titled Head First and based on Popjustice‘s reaction to hearing the first single “Rocket”, it seems they’re back to the disco-esque sound.
In the same way that ‘Ooh La La’ was a glam record that wasn’t really a glam record and was in fact just a Goldfrapp record, ‘Rocket’ is an Italo-esque disco record that isn’t really an Italo-esque disco record and is just in fact a Goldfrapp record, albeit one which sounds a bit like Van Halen vs Laura Branigan.
Anyway, very exciting stuff. 2010 is shaping up to be a really packed year for my musical tastes. Just the first couple months look to have Goldfrapp, UNKLE, Massive Attack, Four Tet, BT, Gorillaz and FlyKKiller dropping new albums. Looking good!
The “Rocket” single is scheduled for release on March 8th.
