"On their first album in four years, Goldfrapp synthesize all their many sounds and modes to get at the core of their musical identity. They find a beautiful, poppy, platonic ideal".

"Of course, Goldfrapp's devotees would say transformation is an entirely fitting topic for the duo to essay: there have certainly been some dramatic stylistic shifts in their career. While her partner, Will Gregory, lurked unseen in the shadows, Alison Goldfrapp seemed to turn in fairly short order from a purveyor of cinematic ballads into a woman whose live shows involved playing a theremin with her crotch while looking like a besequinned Nazi air hostess, and later from that into a bucolic folkie in a harlequin outfit.But the leap from the electropop of 2005's Supernature to its pastoral-acoustic follow-up, Seventh Tree, seemed to finally define the parameters of Goldfrapp's sound: rather than metamorphosise again, they settled into a comfortable rhythm, flipping between the two modes with each subsequent album. Their last, Tales of Us, was rich with strings and acoustic guitars; therefore it must be time to break out the synthesisers again".
