Nilina posted a very fine Goldfrapp remix by Metronomy. It’s good and she’s excited…
“Metronomy brings this Goldfrapp track to life. Literally. Finding Allison and co.’s latest output a little too mellow and Coors-y? This re-imagining of “Happiness” is much more lively. I totally get Goldfrapp’s desire to evolve and challenge themselves, but part of me wonders if they could’ve employed even a few of the same dynamics. Just because Goldfrapp have ditched their basslines doesn’t mean the quirkiness has to go too and this remix proves it. I think this is going to make a lot of people happy…”
Goldfrapp – Happiness (Metronomy Remix Featuring The Teenagers)
meh, my take on Happiness is Goldfrapp deciding they want to break the US mainstream so they try to sound like Feist to get in an Apple commercial.

Really bad. What on earth are the ‘Frapp up to? Presume the ‘Teenagers’ is the French chap bits?
I haven’t yet heard the new album, and on this evidence I’m gonna keep it that way!
