Goldfrapp is back! The UK dance band just announced their new album Tales Of Us will be coming out September 10th, 2013, via Mute Records.
The album is described as Goldfrapp’s most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording to date. Does this mean a new direction (away from dance music?)
Be on the lookout for Goldfrapp to play some shows in the summer, including a special double date at the Manchester International Festival on July 17th and 18th. They’ve arranged for the Royal Northern College of Music string orchestra to playTales Of Us live for the first time. Of course, tickets are already sold out!
Their European headlining tour will take place in October and November. U.S. dates to be announced soon. Personally, I cannot wait!

UK duo Bondax (Adam Kaye and George Townsend) is coming back to North America for a 2013 tour. They are in the middle of writing a new album, as Kaye mentioned, “We’re only just writing our album now, but we’re going to have songs, but songs treated differently so the structures aren’t what you expect. It’s got to keep the interest and not just be trying to do what’s current.”
Check out their new song, “Gold”.
