About this album

Goldfrapp’s Black Cherry inhabits a dark alley, bristling with urban menace and throbbing with a deep electronic pulse—a far cry from their breezy debut, which gently led the listener to a fairytale aural utopia occupied by Parisian pop, whistling divas and baroque masters. Having given up the countryside for a neon-lit studio, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have infused Black Cherry with an intensity and brooding claustrophobia that’s both exuberant and sensual. Simultaneously mellifluous and mechanical, tracks such as “Train,” with its fiery industrial rhythm, steer Goldfrapp dangerously close to the ailing electro-clash scene, before veering back to more familiar territory with the likes of the sultry, downbeat “Black Cherry” and languid dreamy ambience of “Forever.” Elsewhere our Hampshire-bred heroine gets deep down and dirty on “Twist,” an ode to oral that finds Goldfrapp waxing lyrical to a fierce driving Kraftewerk-esque synth. No Felt Mountain to get lost in, but at least there’s “Hairy Trees” to make up for it. —Christopher Barrett

Product Description

@rodsontherocks: yeah yeah, it' is very clear on CRYSTALLINE GREEN that is kinda a mix of both albums (FeltMountain and Supernature) aesthetics: the glam electropop beat and the ethereal synthesizers surrounded by the typical angelical vocals by Alison

To me Black Cherry means a transition from Felt Mountain (The Heavenly Album) to Supernature (The Gutter Album).

Surprisingly, the only mediocre song on black cherry is well, "Black cherry"

I finally got this album (I bought Felt Mountain, Seventh Tree, Supernature, and THEN Black Cherry, so a strange order) and I have to say this is probably the best, though I love them all differently, Felt Mountain for being dark, torchy trip-hop, Seventh Tree for being morning after, beautiful, light acoustic music, and Supernature for its dance beats (though it's the one I play the least, probably because the songs on Supernature are the most mainstream, as mainstream as Goldfrapp can get)
