iamamiwhoami Has Us Stumped (Video)

Nothing like a bit of intrigue to generate a healthy-sized buzz in the olde online marketplace, right?

These YouTube clips, which have prominently featured a muddied female slinking through some sort of surreal living wilderness, have been steadily gathering steam, with each successive installment furthering their mystique. Rumors abound as curious fans have already flagged everyone from MGMT to Trent Reznor to Christina Aguilera as being the artists responsible.

Goldfrapp Announces New Album – Head First

Mute Records has announced that the fifth album by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, Head First, will be released on March 23rd, with the first single, “Rocket” out March 9th. 2007’s Seventh Tree found the duo departing from their glammed-up electronic past to a more delicate and organic fairytale sound. Head First promises a “speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance.” Almost as exciting as the music is the series of highly stylized photos that inevitably accompany a Goldfrapp release.

URB caught up with Richard Norris to hear some thoughts on what motivated them to join forces and make beautiful music.

URB: Such lush, beautiful music. How did the concept for Re-Animations Volume 1 emerge?

Richard Norris: We were working on fairly psychedelic, widescreen re-edits…people heard a few of them and decided to offer us a mix or two. After a while we …
