Goldfrapp's fourth studio album, 'Seventh Tree' was released on February 26th 2008. It's quite different from their last album, 'Supernature' which was a disco-dance album with a good heaping of glitter. 'Seventh Tree' is a return to their roots (somewhat like 'Felt Mountain'), with a slower feel to it but keeping the cool electronic sound they are known for.
There are two tracks in particular that are circus tinged - the first being "Clowns" [
Lyrics], a sad, melodic song, with lush strings, and the second being "Caravan Girl" [
Lyrics], a fun, piano-driven song about running away to the circus.
If you like these songs the rest of the album is definetly worth a listen.
