Alison Goldfrapp and
Will Gregory, are active since 1999. They began their career together when they were over 30 and released a magnificent debut album named
Felt Mountain, which was
Trip Hop and
Soft Electronic. Their second,
Black Cherry,
was more Electronic than
Trip Hop and than they tried other directions such as
EDM (
Supernature, 2005) and
Ambient/Downtempo (
Seventh Tree, 2008). So when I started listening to what they are preparing, I could just guess that it would be different from the other releases so far. Seems I was right. Their new release is an
Acoustic, Soft Electronic and
Trip Hop album. I can categorise it between their debut album and
Seventh Tree. And it's good as it sounds. I know it might disappoint some of the
EDM fans but, there are a lot of beautiful songs, mainly named after persons. I think that
Tales Of Us is going to be one of my favourites this winter. Here are five songs by this wonderful duo from
London.
Pilots (Felt Mountain, 2000)

Number 1 (Supernature, 2005)
