Mute / BMG announce the long-awaited vinyl reissue of Goldfrapps second album, Black Cherry. Out on 27 September 2019, one of a series of Goldfrapp vinyl releases on special edition coloured vinyl. Originally released in April 2003, Black Cherry has been out of print for many years and will be available here as a purple vinyl pressing with an exclusive art print of the original artwork - collaged by Mat Maitland using photography by Polly Borland. The album was the follow up to Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregorys debut, Felt Mountain and gave them their first Top 20 album release in the UK and a Brit Award nomination the following year. Described by The Guardian on release as laudable, challenging and immensely enjoyable while Uncut declared I doubt there'll be many better albums released this year., Black Cherry is the sound of a band letting loose on the dancefloor, without discarding the previous albums experimentalism. From the heartbroken beauty of the title track, to the fantasy-dancefloor-in-an-alien-landscape singles Strict Machine, which won an Ivor Novello Award and was described by NME as a solid gold, honest-to-goodness hit record which should be Number One immediately, the cover artwork features Gwendoline Christie, who went on to star in Game of Thrones and Star Wars, Train (their first Top 30 single in the UK) and Twist, on Black Cherry Goldfrapp entwine classic songwriting with the most abstract of modern music, leaving a bold statement in an increasingly fractured world. Black Cherry will be available on special edition purple vinyl on 27 September 2019.
