• Track Listing

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 release, the sixth album from the British Electronic duo fronted by Alison Goldfrapp. A sumptuous body of work, Tales of US has been two years in the crafting and is their most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording to date. Nothing in their accomplished back catalog has hinted at the new lyrical breadth that the band have introduced to Tales of Us. All the songs except for one are named in the first person with a cast list of evocative character sketches, the contrary love affairs, the suspense, hallucinations, fairy tales and modern folklores documented and the traces of redemption they find in song take the poetry of Goldfrapp's delicately considered music somewhere brand new.
