Goldfrapp - Tales Of Us

Formát: CD, Album
Žánr: Electronic, Pop, Downtempo, Indie Pop, Synth-pop

Goldfrapp je britská hudební skupina založená v roce 1999 v Londýně, zástupce žánru synthpop. Skupina má pouze dva členy: Alison Goldfrapp (zpěv, syntetizátor) a Willa Gregoryho (syntetizátor).

V roce 2000 debutovali ambientním albem Felt Mountain, které bylo i přes příznivé ohlasy kritiků komerčním propadákem. Druhý počin Black Cherry byl pro změnu žánrově orientován na synthpop a glam rock a zaznamenal o poznání větší úspěch.

Jejich hudba se začala hrát v klubech po celé Británii. Taneční zvuk se odrazil v tvorbě na třetím studiovém albu se kterým navázali na předchozí úspěch. Navíc byla deska v roce 2006 nominována na Grammy v kategorii „Best Electronic/Dance Album".

"Tales of Us" je šesté studiové album anglického dua Goldfrapp, vydané 6. září 2013 Mute Records. V červnu 2013, duo podniklo turné, s názvem "Tales of Us Tour", na propagaci jejich alba.
