It’s not the kind of title you expect to see on The Vibes, so let’s embrace the unexpected for a moment here. The remaining movies which accompany Goldfrapp’s Tales Of Us album were leaked recently, and for just a fleeting moment I was able to steal some screen caps from the video for Jo, which seems to be about split personalities and murderous passion. The result is this imaginary movie poster, continuing the horror theme which snakes through the album.
Due to land in early September, the new album from electronic duo Goldfrapp sounds like the best of their astral debut Felt Mountain and the psychedelic classic Seventh Tree blended into a unique signature sound. This teaser trailer is the first taste, and I’ll be reporting from the live album reveal show in Manchester later in July, July, July. Hop on over to High Tunes, my music blog for a sneak preview of the album….

Because Brit Summer is such an unpredictable lass, the nation tends to go slightly crazy when the sun comes out, and you all know how I like my rays. I grab the beautiful details with my phone, usually at random, and record them here so you can all see how I view the world. It’s not a charmed life that I lead, so I appreciate those little glimpses of beauty – nature in full parade.

Dandelion. It’s my new favourite word – bounces like Tigger and isn’t afraid to wear a silly hat. I want to be a dandelion…
These are some of the views I stole on a walk round Chorltonville yesterday, drenched in summer sun and everything turning green around us. Doesn’t Manchester scrub up well on a hot day? Continue reading
