Mute: "Goldfrapp Not Recording James Bond Theme"
June 28, 2006
I knew it was too good to be true. Contrary to reports that are flooding the internets, a formal spokesperson for Mute, Goldfrapp's record label, told Arjan Writes today that the duo will not record the theme song of the new James Bond movie "Casino Royale." Mute also noted that Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory will not perform at the Austin City Limits festival even though the promoter still lists the band as a headliner on its web site. The band will possibly do a North American tour in the fall. Fans have been critical of Mute and claim the label has not done enough to support Goldfrapp's launch in the United States. But Mute is currently trying to bring the band back to the States for a fall tour. Due high demand for the band in different markets, the group won't be able to get stateside sooner.
