Seventh Tree
Goldfrapp
A far cry from the Goldfrapp most of us got used to over the past few years, with image-defining hits like "Strict Machine," "Oh La La" and "Ride A White Horse," Alison channels a little Olivia Newton John on an album that could be seen as a return to Felt Mountain if it weren't the soundtrack for an entirely different kind of movie. Seventh Tree is the backdrop to a summer afternoon love scene on wooden floors in a bright, modest home furnished in ashy whites and faded yellows. Unlike the high contrast, black and white Italian street scene of "Felt," "Tree" feels monochromatic and granular, like wheat blowing in the wind, which works nicely over the end credits following the darkness and disco light.
