Description

hellip an album as hummably lovely as it is knowingly referencing of a certain tradition of neopsychedelic English whimsy. The Observer ‘hellip sets the pair into new experimental territory ‘ NME Originally released in February 2008, Seventh Tree has been out of print for many years and will be reissued here as a yellow vinyl pressing in a gatefold sleeve, with an exclusive art print of the original artwork. Featuring the singles ‘AampE’ , ‘ Happiness’ , ‘Caravan Girl’ and ‘Clowns’ , the album was written by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and recorded at their own studio deep in the English countryside. Seventh Tree followed the glitterball glamour of platinumselling album, Supernature 2005, and is very much its sensual counterpoint. Where its predecessor came cocooned in style and sex, Seventh Tree emerges gilded in the butterfly colours of an English surrealism. It shimmers and shines with the warmth of a hazy summer, an electric whirlpool of sound over which Alison’ s glistening voice soars. Alison Goldfrapp described the album as ‘English romanticism with a hint of California sunshine. ‘ while Will Gregory called it ‘heartache dressed in ten louche outfit ‘ ‘ .
