Rocket Launcher.
The cover-art for the new Goldfrapp single, “Rocket.” Looks like Xanadu meets this, doesn’t it?
After the wondrous, demure subtlety of Seventh Tree (which seems to have gone over most peoples heads), Goldfrapp return in 2010 with this; a phenomenal slice of Xanadu-pop that puts the already large-headed Alison Goldfrapp on an even bigger pedestal.
“Now that I’m here, now that you’re near… in Xaaaanaaaaaduuu.”
Phenomenal. Everything about this new phase in Goldfrapp’s history feels bigger. “Rocket” is a truly majestic pop song with major everything; verse, chorus, structure, synths, everything about it is breathtaking.
They never cease to amaze me even more with each project. Here’s the album sleeve for the released-in-March “Head First.”
See? Majestic.

Love it, love it, love it. I think blogs round the world posted something about this last night (as did I) because it just feels/sounds/looks (cover) so right. Can’t wait for the album…
