Animal Collective's balmy, colorful headlining set was a Pitchfork Festival highlight. On Goldfrapp's "Caravan Girl" digital single, they sprinkle a thimble full of tropical fireworks onto Seventh Tree's "Little Bird." It's an interesting, pretty overlap -- Alison Goldfrapp's smeary, plaintive... CONTINUE READING NEW GOLDFRAPP - "LITTLE BIRD" (ANIMAL COLLECTIVE REMIX)»

Continuing the recent run of summertime videos, Goldfrapp's "Caravan Girl" follows a skateboarder from her caravan park home base across town, past the oceans, down highways, and through tunnels, armed with her trusty radio, checkerboard kicks, and warm breezes.

With "A&E," and its bodies-of-leaves video, it was clear Alison and Will were set to veer off from the Black Cherry sound they continued to mine with Supernature; some called it out for being too MOR, but we highly recommend taking some time with this album stream. It's a softer, string-laden side of the pair we're seeing these days, but there's nothing wrong with some lush introspection after all that dancing. The album's out 2/26 on Mute, and they have some dates coming up with BTW frYars.

Artists paying homage to their contemporaries via cover tunes isn't strictly a British phenomenon, but at least when captured in studio, it seems they float over to us from the other side of the Atlantic more often than not. (Even... CONTINUE READING GOLDFRAPP COVERS KLAXONS»

The new Goldfrapp tune would fit well in some Paul Thomas Anderson flick, maybe connecting all the forlorn characters a la "Wise Up," only on a bright blue Saturday, not such a rainy work night.
