Goldfrapp To Release New Album, March 31

Goldfrapp are set to release their new album Silver Eye on March 31 via Mute Records. The album is their seventh studio album and their first in four years. Pre-order the album HERE.

Check out the audio for "Anymore" below.

On the making the album, Alison Goldfrapp says:

 

“We’ve never liked repeating ourselves. Often we react to things we’ve just done. We like the spontaneity of not knowing. It’s only through the process that we start to figure out what it is. The fans who have stuck with us are the ones who embrace that idea and are excited by the thought that they don’t know quite what to expect next.”

 

Will Gregory added:

 

“I think writing an album is like being lost in a wood. You’re trying to figure out an interesting path. You don’t know whether it’s going to be a dead end or somewhere interesting and you never know when to stop because around the corner some beautiful vista might open up.”
