I’m a big lover of the music duo known as Goldfrapp. The sweet honey of Alison Goldfrapp’s voice and the electrifying heat of Will Gregory’s music make for a lovely remedy to the most broken ear. Their last two albums have been of the fast paced, sex-kitten variety (which I adore) but I’ve heard a lot of folks complaining of their new album, Seventh Tree, being a big, quiet downer. I choose not to listen to that rattle and just let the album, which is a great bridge back to their debut Felt Mountain, cover me like a pile of cool leaves. To that, I offer exhibit A&E.

Imagine one of those urban legends about a star-crossed couple from the late 50's that ends up driving off of a cliff on a dark and windy road near Lover's Lane. When the police find the car with their bodies inside the radio is still on and playing a song. I'd like to think that The Raveonettes are the music that's stuck on that radio station for eternity. I like these guys, even more since it's apparent that they have a sense of humor to go along with their spooky licks. Enjoy their new video.
