NEW PINBALL iPHONE APP OUT NOW

“The band has returned full-force to the expansive synth work
that made them underground darlings.” - Rolling Stone

“Who knew late-‘70’s/early ‘80’s synth-pop could be so perfectly compact,
so life-affirming and seemingly effortless?” – Mother Jones

August 31, 2010 – New York, NY – Goldfrapp announces the release of Goldfrapp Pinball, a brand new iPhone App.

Goldfrapp Pinball is a 3D pinball game, which allows you to remix Goldfrapp’s music as you play. Featuring samples from Goldfrapp's album Head First, a tap of the finger on the iPhone screen powers the ball and sets its path through an imaginary urban environment with towering skyscrapers. As the ball collides with objects different sound samples are triggered, creating a unique remix every time a game is played. You can influence the direction of the ball by tilting the phone and if you're really skilled you can travel on the lightning bolt to earn bonus points. Occasionally clouds float across the screen obscuring the ball and making game-play a little bit harder… but you can clear the clouds with a quick shake of the phone. A global leader board allows you to match your score with other players around the world. The App was created by Goldfrapp and Corporation Pop.

The band releases their brand new single “Believer” on September 7th through Mute. “Believer” is the latest single to be taken from Head First following the fantastic singles “Rocket” and “Alive”. ‘Believer” comes with a fabulous remix package including mixes by Vince Clarke, Subway, Joris Voorn and Davide Rossi.

Head First is Goldfrapp's most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With life affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010 and was described as “A heady delight” by People Magazine.

1. Believer (Radio Edit)
