I became a bit bored with their last album after liking their first two, so it was a good time for a change to me.

I've been meaning to post but I've only had a chance to listen to it once. The special edition version arrived in yesterday's mail. I was unsure of how I would take to the new album. I liked parts of Felt Mountain, but the album didn't really stay with me. I came back to Goldfrapp with Supernature which I absolutely love, and I even love the We Are Glitter remixes. Seventh Tree definitely needs more listening, but it seems more laidback though not as moody as Felt Mountain, or not as something as Felt Mountain, whatever that something is. It's not entirely removed from Supernature either. Can't say more than that because, again, only one listen so far. But I think I can safely say it's brilliant and will appeal to lots of ecto folks.

Which is a definite strength. Just within the first three songs, the sound moves from a kind of Vashti Bunyanesque pastoral British folk sound (with bird calls that sound deliciously lifted from Kate's "Aerial"), to moody downtempo electronic into buoyant 60's pop. But everything still coheres.

I'm liking what I hear. Incidentally, this is one of the few albums whose Kate Bush comparisons actually hold up. Every other female singer-songwriter gets compared to Kate, but there is absolutely no way "Clowns" and other tracks weren't influenced in some fashion by Aerial. In a good way, mind you. - -Sarah ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:42:48 -0600 From: Timothy Jones-Yelvington Subject: Heady Heart Artist Profile: Eisa Davis Hello Ectophiles! The second "Heady Heart" artist profile recently posted to Fluxcore magazine. You can read it at http://www.fluxcore.org/article.php?id=76. In addition to being an unusual and fresh singer-songwriter, Eisa Davis is an actress, playwright and finalist for the Pulitzer prize. I highly recommend checking out her work.

An absolutely horrendous article in the women's section of a local paper (can't remember if it was the chicago trib or the sun times) inspired my very first paper for my very first Women's & Gender Studies course in 2004. Oh the memories... Thanks for the link.
