MUSIC/FILM: Frappucinos at the Concession Stand


I've never been one for going to a movie theater to see some kind of "special event." Have you seen those trailers before the actual movie trailers start? They are usually for an opera, sports event or something else subterranean on my list of things I need to spend time on.

I may have changed my tune on a cinema special event screening though.

In lieu of touring (I'd imagine), one of my favorite bands of the last 10+ years, Goldfrapp, has announced a one-night only screening of a five short film collection based around the characters/themes of their latest album, 2013's 'Tales of Us,' a moody, romantic return-to-form for the cinematic-sounding duo.

From the above trailer, it looks to be like a fashion shoot come to life; I see a lot of forests, empty grand estates, swimming pools, blonde curls, running through wheat fields and other cinematic moments. I believe there is also a live concert element to the film, songs from the 'Tales' album, possibly a full concert as the climax of the film?

Having seen Goldfrapp live only once, at the beginning of their career with the 'Felt Mountain' tour, and owner of Wonderful Electric, their double disc concert DVD, I can attest that they are a beautiful sight and sound (live and filmed) experience.

I may take this Goldfrapp moment to fantasize about Microfilm's own glossy, yet hazy filmed musical experience to be dreamt up.
