About this album
Seventh Tree received mostly favorable reviews from pop music critics. In a review for Allmusic, Heather Phares wrote that the album’s “electro hippie-chic is the duo’s most polished and luxe work yet” and named “Caravan Girl” as its best song.[5] MusicOMH.com reviewer John Murphy called Seventh Tree Goldfrapp’s “most subtle, affecting and rewarding album to date” and compared it to Kate Bush and the Cocteau Twins.[6] However, Pitchfork Media reviewer Nate Patrin was less impressed, and wrote that the album is “so subtle and slow-moving it doesn’t seem to go anywhere” and that its songs “coast on some frothy sense of pleasantness that evaporates the moment end”.[7]
In a review for Yahoo! Music, Adam Webb wrote that Seventh Tree “marks convincing evidence that Alison Goldfrapp now exists on the same artistic plane as PJ Harvey or Kate Bush”.[8] Rolling Stone said that the “slow pace can be a snooze”, but that the album “still makes for good post-party chill-out music”.[9] John Lewis of Uncut called it “brave, bonkers, often beautiful, sometimes haunting and occasionally ridiculous”.[10]

I'm surprised I haven't worn out these songs, I must have played this album 60-70 times when I first got it. Enchanting.

One of the best albums of 2008. The tracks sounded great when she performed them in the vintage '30s theatre, here in LA yesterday.

I agree. Seventh Tree is much warmer in soundscape and lyrics in some areas. It certainly is beautiful though.

Felt Mountain was probably my favorite Goldfrapp album until Seventh Tree came out, which I bought the day it came out and is still getting repeated listens on my iPod. However, I don't really see the similarities between Felt Mountain and Seventh Tree. FM seems much darker and cryptic, ST is a warmer, more cheery album
