Tales of Us

Goldfrapp

A collection of noir-folk character studies. Sparse acoustic guitars and cinematic strings frame Alison Goldfrapp's most intimate, breathy vocal performance.

A hushed, cinematic collection of mysteries that feels like a shared secret in a quiet room.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the strings swell and then vanish into a delicate guitar pluck on Drew
The pulsing, slightly sinister synth bass that anchors the otherwise airy Thea
The heartbreaking clarity of the vocal on Annabel when the arrangement strips down to almost nothing
