Goldfrapp by Joe Dilworth
Goldfrapp will also tour the UK to mark the album’s 20th anniversary.
The details have been confirmed for the reissue of Goldfrapp’s debut album Felt Mountain.
Originally released on Mute in September 2000, it was nominated for the Mercury Prize the following year and, whilst it had a strangely quiet time on the UK charts, singles such as Lovely Head and Utopia would contribute to an undoubted critical success.
“Looking back, Felt Mountain represents a very special period in my life,” Alison Goldfrapp has said. “It is the first album Will and I recorded as Goldfrapp, launching us in a new musical direction.”
“And the moment for me, after 13 years or so in music, that I found a creative direction that I was truly excited about. Being nominated for a Mercury Prize was incredible and unexpected, and an affirmation that we were embarking on an important journey.”
Due on March 25th, the re-release will be on gold vinyl and CD formats, and come with new sleeve notes by Lior Phillips and photography by Joe Dilworth and Anna Fox.
