Supernature

There aren't many British female singers who do their own thing with unapologetic flair, eccentric lyrics and outspoken abandon. Women like Moloko's Roisin Murphy, Garbage's Shirley Manson, and Goldfrapp's Alison Goldfrapp, who releases her third album in collaboration with band mate, co-writer and producer, Will Gregory. Supernature follows their Mercury Prize nominated debut release Felt Mountain in 2000 and 2003's Black Cherry. The new album is the sound of Goldfrapp breaking through their own crash barrier - an uncompromising, psychedelic, electro-glam, creative force at the top of their very own game. Supernature is a triumph; a combination of electronics and decadence, soaring, sneering vocals and high drama, which references pretty much every glamorous, dark, witty, twisted bit of pop produced over the last 20 years. Mute. 2005.
