The band consists of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and was formed in 1999. Their debut album, "Felt Mountain" (2000) was excellent (loungy melancholic with an electro touch) but failed to conquer wide public, even though it was well received. With their second CD "Black Cherry" (2003), they moved from chilled out electronica to a more 'electro-rock' or 'glam pop-rock' direction. and that's when they got more 'mainstream' and got much public and critics acclaim. Following the success of 'Black Cherry', they released a third album 'Supernature' in the summer of 2005, which would become Goldfrapp's most successful commercial release. And adding to these three albums, there are loads of remixes and remixes... and of videos. I saw them twice in Brussels, the first when they were not yet so well known and the second when they were beginning to be more commercial. Both times they were great and Allison can really put up a great show and is very cool! So I'm eagerly waiting for the follow up... maybe something more 'tech-house'?...
