Be sure to tune in!
On album release day, September 1oth Goldfrapp will host an album release event of magical proportions, accompanied by the Wordless Music Orchestra. Their sixth studio release, Tales Of Us will be presented in FULL along with catalog favorites for one evening ONLY at the historic Beacon Theatrein New York City. Tickets are onsale here.
In anticipation of the release of Tales Of Us, Goldfrapp have released an innovative iPhone App, available now. “GoldfrApp: Tales Of Us”is an advanced photo modification App for iPhone and iPad. Taking existing apps such as Instagram and Snapseed to a whole new level, the app combines two of your photos using the 'double exposure' photography technique – creating an illusory joint image. The photos can then be easily saved to your camera roll and shared with friends via Email/Twitter/Facebook/Instagram. It is also possible to share them with Alison, who will be choosing her favourite photos to appear on the new Goldfrapp interactive experience page at www.goldfrapp.com.
Alison (@goldfrapp) has begun teasing the App by posting some of her own double exposure creations to the Goldfrapp social media sites, using the hashtag #GoldfrAppAug12. These show some of the mysterious, imaginative shots you can create with the App. Check it out HERE.
A sumptuous body of work, Tales Of Us has been two years in the crafting and is Goldfrapp’s most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording so far. Nothing in their accomplished back catalogue has hinted at the new lyrical breadth that the band have introduced to Tales Of Us.
Tales Of Us is written and produced by band members Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregoryand was recorded at their studio in the English countryside. Recently, we shared with you a sneak peak of what’s to come, with the debut of the first film “Drew.”Lush, decadent, mysterious and seductive this short film serves as a living, breathing playground that we are happy to be invited to.
Tales Of Us will be available from September 10th on CD, vinyl, digital and a special limited edition boxsetthat will feature bonus audio and video content and a photographic hardback book compiled by Goldfrapp, further details to follow.
