!! OMG, Goldfrapp go folkloric on “Tales Of Us” !!

Goldfrapp have a ghostly acoustic vibe happening on the follow-up to their 2010 Olivia Newton-John homage Head First.
The British pop duo’s sixth LP, Tales Of Us, comes out on September 10 via Mute (September 9 in the UK) and promises to be their “most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording so far,” according to the press release anyway.
“When you’re relaxed and confident you can excavate places you may not have dared go before,” said Alison Goldfrapp. “I’m drawn more and more to the intimacy and simplicity of the voice & guitar… I am interested in horror, psychologically. Not blood and guts. That’s too literal. I like the horror of the mind.”
