http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/taxonomy/term/242/0 en http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/goldfrapp_head_first <p>Regular visitors to this site will understand how much we LOVE Goldfrapp. This latest album does nothing to change that opinion.</p> <p>Alison &amp; Will take us back to the 80s with a heady blend of hi-NRG basslines, fat synth sounds and feathery vocals. It's easy to see the influences here: Giorgio Moroder, ABBA, ELO, even the Van Halen synths are all present and correct.</p> <p>The featured cut, 'Believer', sounds instantly familiar, but not tired or obvious.</p> <p>If the album seems somewhat slight, it’s purposefully so: Head First is a love letter to the frothy, fleeting, but very vital joys of pop music.</p> http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/goldfrapp_head_first#comments 2010 80s dance electropop synthpop Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:57:40 -0500 kevster 196 at http://undertheinfluence.me.uk
