Head First

Goldfrapp

A high-gloss rush of 1980s synth optimism and neon-soaked disco. Shimmering, euphoric, and unashamedly bright pop music for the heart of summer.

A relentless, shimmering rush of synth-pop optimism that feels like a permanent golden hour.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, Van Halen-indebted synth hook that launches Rocket into orbit.
The way the arpeggios in Alive mimic a racing heartbeat before the chorus swells.
The experimental, wordless vocal layering on the closing track Voicething.
