About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Though her collaborations with Tricky, Orbital, and Add N To X focused on the sheer beauty and power of her singing, on her debut album Felt Mountain Allison Goldfrapp also explores more straightforward styles. Together with composer/multi-instrumentalist Will Gregory, Goldfrapp wraps her unearthly voice around songs that borrow from '60s pop, cabaret, folk, and electronica without sounding derivative or unfocused. From the sci-fi/spy film hybrids "Human" and "Lovely Head" to the title track's icy purity, the duo strikes a wide variety of poses, giving Felt Mountain a stylized, theatrical feel that never veers into campiness. Though longtime fans of Goldfrapp's voice may wish for more the exuberant, intoxicating side of her sound, lovelorn ballads like "Pilots," "Deer Stop," and "Horse's Tears" prove that she is equally able at carrying -- and writing -- more traditional tunes. A strange and beautiful mix of the romantic, eerie, and world-weary, Felt Mountain is one of 2000's most impressive debuts. Heather Phares, All Music Guide

November 14, 2002: i was introduced to goldfrapp through an educated pal with a penchant for offbeat music that really makes you sit up and take notice! from my first listen, "felt mountain" had it's hooks in me and after hundreds of spins, has not stopped blowing me away!!! the sheer beauty of alison's voice takes me anew each time...."human" is one of the most thrilling songs that i have ever heard! i swear that she is channelling some chilled-out shirley bassey! if it were up to me goldfrapp would have done the title song of the new james bond film instead of madonna. somehow this music just seems to fit that genre quite well....this cd is an absolute must have for any cultured (or not so!) listener......
