About this item

Mute announces a special deluxe edition of Silver Eye, Goldfrapp's acclaimed seventh album from 2017. If 2013's Tales of Us, a set of noirish folk fables, roamed the same pastoral landscape as Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree, then Silver Eye (a reference to the moon) belongs to the pulsing, electronic lineage of Black Cherry and Supernature only deeper and darker. The common thread between these two modes, apart from the consistently exquisite arrangements and Alison Goldfrapp's extraordinary voice, is a set of enduring preoccupations, which inform both the lyrics and the visual aesthetic. "Mysticism, ecstasy, ritual, contemplation, metamorphosis, the elemental," says Goldfrapp, who took all of the photographs and creatively directed all artwork visuals.
