Goldfrapp have announced they will release their new album ‘Tales Of Us’ through Mute on 9 September 2013. Their sixth album, ‘Tales Of Us’ is written and produced by band members Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and was recorded at their studio in the English countryside.
‘Tales Of Us’ has been two years in the crafting and is Goldfrapp's most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording so far. All the songs bar one are named in the first person with a cast list of evocative character sketches, the contrary love affairs, the suspense, hallucinations, fairy tales and modern folklores documented and the traces of redemption they find in song take the poetry of Goldfrapp’s music somewhere brand new.
A trailer for the album offering the first chance to get a glimpse of ‘Tales Of Us' can be seen at goldfrapp.com. With its unique cinematic narrative, filmmaker Lisa Gunning is creating a film to accompany the album, which will be shown in cinemas later this year.
Goldfrapp kick-start a summer of live performances with two shows at the Manchester International Festival on 17 and 18 July when they will be performing ’Tales Of Us’ live for the very first time, accompanied by the Royal Northern College of Music string orchestra. The band will then be performing at Somerset House on 20 July before going on to headline the Lovebox main stage on Sunday 21 July.
The summer shows are a precursor to a European headline tour in October and November.
