Goldfrapp’s Felt Mountain: The Isolation That Created a Masterpiece

Details

Description

Step into the cinematic, ethereal world of Goldfrapp’s debut album Felt Mountain — 25 years after its release, it still sounds like nothing else. In this video, I dive deep into the making of this cult classic, from Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory’s fascinating backstories to the eerie countryside bungalow where the album took shape.

Discover the film score influences of Ennio Morricone, the surreal inspirations from Gattaca and Perfume, and the visual world that made Felt Mountain an art-pop treasure. Along the way, we explore its critical legacy, hidden stories, and my personal Top 5 tracks from the album. And as usual, vinyl unboxings for some fo the physical editions from the era.
