Bjork, Goldfrapp and Secret Machines News

"Arjan Writes pointed us to info about the new Goldfrapp album. It will be released on August 22nd on Mute. The album is titled Ooh La La. (link via Arjan Writes)

Described by Alison as "sulky, sexual and a bit ambiguous", the single ‘Ooh La La’ is a thrilling slab of glam-noir. Vibrant and visceral, the track is pure excitement and tension, delivered with the downright dirty insouciance that we have come to expect of Britain’s most captivating act.

Co-written and co-produced by Alison and Will, ‘Ooh La La’ comes accompanied by an appropriately electrifying glam fantasy video courtesy of uber-director Dawn Shadforth that Alison describes as ‘harking back to Eno era Roxy Music and old Top of the Pops’- see it here very soon!

Goldfrapp's music is also featured in the summer release of My Summer of Love. It contains a mix of new instrumental score and older material (including Lovely Head). Thought Goldfrapp's site site states, "There here are currently no plans for the music to be released as a soundtrack album," we were able to find it here on Amazon.com and as an import on Amazon.co.uk. It will be released on June 21st.

Bjork's charity record, Army of Me, will be released in the US on May 31st. You can also order a copy online here. Also, Warchildmusic has 2 exclusive Bjork tracks availabe for download. Warchildmusic raises money to support war child programs working with children affected by conflict around the world.
