“All the characters in these songs are trying to figure out who they are, where they’re going, and why they are who they are.”
London-based electro-pop duo Goldfrapp released it's sixth studio album Tales Of Us in the UK today.
The album will be released in the U.S. on September 10th.
They have also released a music video "Annabel," the second single off the album, which tells the story of one child's struggle with gender identity.
The seven minute video was directed by Lisa Gunning, frontwoman Allison Goldfrapp's girlfriend. It will be released as a full length film later this year.
When you dream your only dream, you're Annabel
Sleep reminds you, takes you there, oh Annabel
Gentle whisper, endless winters, Annabel
Why've they couldn't let you be both, Annabel?Land of the lines
Of the years below still lies
You are the truth they deniedRun like the sea
Tangled there in porcelain
Under the stars you begin
The video, shot mostly in muted black-and-white, draws you in instantly with its intense intimacy.
