Tuesday 15 October - with Lauren Laverne, 10am-1pm
New wave diva, wistful folk fairie, 80s pop siren… is there no end to the ever changing image of Alison Goldfrapp? Since 2000’s Felt Mountain, Alison and musical partner Will Gregory have experimented with a variety of musical textures from glam rock to electronic dance music via downtempo folk and retro synths. Five albums on and their latest album ‘Tales Of Us’ returns to the musical landscape of their debut, fusing John Barry-esque cinematic soundscapes with Alison’s distinctive vocals. A big favourite of 6 Music, the band have recently taken control of ‘Now Playing’ and delivered a ‘Three Minute Epiphany’ for Weekend Breakfast. Renowned for their show-stopping live performances, their Maida Vale session will be unmissable.
