Watch: Goldfrapp Release Short Film For New Track "Annabel"

Electrocnic duo Goldfrapp have released the video for "Annabel", taken from their upcoming sixth studio album 'Tales Of Us', out next Monday (September 9) via Mute Records.

Previously the duo unveiled the clip for the record's lead single "Drew".

Speaking to Nowness about the song, Alison Goldfrapp said: "I read Annabel (Kathleen Winter's 2010 novel) and was totally drawn into that world, and immediately wrote the song. It's very much about my interpretation of the book. If anyone hears that song they’ll just think it’s about a girl, they won't know what it is about, so I was very intent on making the film. The boy is amazing, he's got a stillness and a melancholy to his face, and an introverted quality about him."

The short film, directed by Lisa Gunning,  features a young androgynous boy exploring his femininity, is a girl trapped inside the body of a boy. Watch it below.
