Opening the Ether for 2008, the preternaturally cool and much loved Goldfrapp unveil their new album - Seventh Tree live at Royal Festival Hall. Seventh Tree follows up the platinum-selling and critically acclaimed Supernature album which came out in summer 2005. From the captivating electronic balladry of the Mercury nominated debut Felt Mountain and the darkly subversive follow-up Black Cherry, Goldfrapp have consistently surprised and delighted - with each new album signalling an exciting new direction. Eschewing the glitterball glamour of Supernature, the band step out into the sunshine, their new direction prompting Observer Music Monthly to declare 'Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree makes you feel like spring's already arrived'. Combining this dreamlike rural bliss with a paganistic, sinister undertow, Goldfrapp once again have created a new unique musical world.

La 15ª edición de Sónar, que este año se celebrará el 19, 20 y 21 de junio, asienta su programación sobre dos ejes principales: el “factor femenino” en la música de nuestros días y el “bastardismo” como fruto del cruce de géneros y subgéneros musicales.
Destacadísima presencia de mujeres en el cartel. Divas indiscutibles del pop moderno como Goldfrapp o Róisín Murphy contrastan con el glamour combativo y multicutural de M.I.A. o la alquimia vocal de Camille, nueva musa de la “chanson française”.
Primeras figuras de imposible etiquetaje como Justice, Yelle, Diplo, Spank Rock o Boys Noize inyectan al programa de este año dosis masivas de energía de bastarda y exhibición orgullosa del ‘Do It Yourself’.
Lugar de encuentros y reencuentros. Dos fugaces pero míticos dúos se reencuentran en Sónar: Yazoo, leyendas del pop sintético, y Mike Banks junto a Jeff Mills, la génesis de Underground Resistance.
En clave contemporánea, Jamie Cullum y su hermano Ben Cullum se alían con el ex–Underworld Darren Emerson para crear BC vs JC featuring Darren Emerson.
Los colaboradores y protegidos de Kanye West, A-TraK y Kid Sister, combinan platos y rimas con el nuevo fenómeno Dj Mehdi.
