Goldfrapp Release New Single 'Alive' in June

British pop pioneers Goldfrapp release their brand new single ‘Alive’ through Mute on 7th June 2010.

A joyous summer rush of anthemic escapism, ‘Alive’, written and produced by band mates Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, follows ‘Rocket’ as the second single to be taken from the duo’s fifth album Head First which MOJO described as “Alison and Will go stadium… an album of classic pop.”

Head First is Goldfrapp's most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With life affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010.

Out now on CD and 180gram vinyl (with free poster and CD of the album), Head First was available on cassette for Record Store Day 2010 (sold out).

The diversity, ambition and direction of the new album continues to highlight Goldfrapp as true agenda-setters and modern British musical icons. ‘Head First’ follows the critically acclaimed ‘Seventh Tree’, and is the latest in a brilliantly consistent body of work - from the captivating electronic balladry of Mercury nominated debut ‘Felt Mountain’ and its distorted-dancefloor follow-up, ‘Black Cherry’ to the glitterball glamour of ‘Supernature’ which came out in summer 2005 and went on to sell over a million copies worldwide.

Goldfrapp will take Head First to T in the Park, Oxegen and V festivals this summer and on their own tour later in 2010 - following the massive acclamation for both the Supernature and Seventh Tree tours and festival appearances around the world, Goldfrapp have underlined their reputation as one of the most transcendent and inventive live bands around.
