The fourth studio album, “Seventh Tree” by British electronic duo Goldfrapp is scheduled for release by Mute Records on February 26, 2008. Goldfrapp have described the album as a “sensual counterpoint to the glitterball glamour of Supernature”, their last studio album of new material in 2005. The album’s first single, “A&E”, is scheduled to be released on February 12, 2008.
The cut we have for you today is called “Little Bird”. I dig the psychedelic sounds, beatles-esque bass line, and etheral vocals on this track. The album as a whole is major departure from “Supernature”.
Give this track at least a listen up to the 2:40 mark to really get the effect of this track.

At the 2:40 mark, there is a strong Cocteau Twins influence. I really like this shift for Goldfrapp.
Very nice! Goldfrapps first album was so unique I was wondering if they’d live up to that standard…this is very promising indeed!
