It was a quite incisive experience that felt very satisfying and liberating. We almost started to feel jealous of the simplicity of other bands that only used a few guitars and drums. That kind of inspired us." Finding the experience fulfilling and inspiring, they carried it into their next studio album, enlisting producer John Congleton, who had worked with St Vincent, Blondie, John Grant and Bobby Krlic of The Haxan Cloak.

The artwork for Seventh Tree featured her dressed as a clown because it is an "iconic image" with "so many different connotations". [42] Goldfrapp chose to tone down her overtly sexual image because she felt that it was taking over the music. Her new image, inspired by Paganism, featured her dressed in white or natural-coloured flowing gowns with loose, curly blond hair.

Alison Goldfrapp (singer and frontwoman) says that the album's lyrics and production were inspired by "surreal English children's books" (who the hell thinks of that? damn!). I think that's genius, specially because I had no idea until I actually decided to find out more about this album on the internet. And to me that's further proof that Goldfrapp were always artists with minds of their own, and thank the universe that they found a place and time to come up with Seventh Tree. For 2005's well-received Supernature, Goldfrapp injected elements of pop, dance, and disco into their electro-pop/experimental sound, and the results were immediately successful both critically and commercially. The album produced the group's first Top 10 hits in the UK, " Ooh La La" and " Number 1," and peaked at No. 2 in the UK, selling more than 400,000 copies. It also provided the breakthrough for Goldfrapp in the US, where their eye-catching image and stage show has attracted media attention. a b "Grammy Awards 2011: Winners and nominees for 53rd Grammy Awards".

The album has it all. Fantastic ballads that are easily some of the best songs of the year (at least), in "Clowns" or "Eat Yourself", an up-lifting dancey single in "Caravan Girl" and a soothing folktronica lead single in "A&E" which both weirdly (I did use that word a lot, but hey, it's weird) fit perfectly in the album, a simple-yet-excellent bassline in "Cologne Cerrone Houdini", and an chamber-pop ballad in "Monster Love" that is reminiscent of the Felt Mountain era with a more peaceful and less mysterious feel to it... a b Hoard, Christian (6 March 2008).
