Supernature

Back in stock With their Black Cherry album the duo of vocalist Alison Goldfrapp and composer Will Gregory moved emphatically away from the folky filmic forays of their debut Felt Mountain to explore edgier sexier themes Supernature their third longplayer continues to probe this more 'adult' world lashing together lascivious electro cascading synths and the exhumed spirits of artists like Gary Numan and Giorgio Moroder Lead single 'Ooh La La' with its cosmetic sheen and hedonistic pop feel is a good indicator for the rest of the album The aphotic flirtatious pulse of tracks like 'Ride A White Horse' and 'Koko' contrast subtly with spectral dreampieces such as 'Let It Take U' and 'U Never Know' while Goldfrapp's vocalsdripping here with a digitized sensualityand Gregory's arching soundscapes provide textural continuity Occasionally vampish and consistently visceral this is a classy excursion into Goldfrappian gothic dancepop
