Goldfrapp part ways with record label

Goldfrapp have parted ways with their record label EMI.

The group, who have been signed to the label for ten years, revealed that their contract officially ended in August this year. They added that they are excited by the "endless world of opportunity" as they continue to tour independently.

Alison Goldfrapp told BBC 6 Music: "Our contract ended in August so we are no longer with EMI. We aren't with anyone. It means when this tour ends I will have a meltdown. No, it's very exciting if I'm serious.

"It's exciting because it is kind of, like, 'Wow, this is a whole new chapter really, what will we do and will anyone want us?'.

"And we definitely want to do more work together and write a new album and we want to do some other things. It feels like an endless world of opportunity really, it's exciting."

Discussing their current tour, she admitted that the busy schedule means she enjoys her quieter moments.

She explained: "When I'm on tour, you're surrounded by music all the time, and noise, you're playing your own music and then you get on a plane and there's music, you get to a hotel and they're playing music in the lobby, you go to a restaurant - music.

"So I'm, like, really quite into no music."
