British duo `Goldfrapp` linked to Casino Royale theme song

According to sources at a reliable French James Bond fansite, Goldfrapp are close to being confirmed as the title song artists for the forthcoming James Bond film "Casino Royale".

Goldfrapp, a British electronica duo from Bath, Somerset, consists of Alison Goldfrapp (lead vocals. keyboards, synthesizer) and Will Gregory (keyboards, synthesizer).

The duo released their debut album, Felt Mountain, in the winter of 2000 to much acclaim. The album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize the following year and produced two minor successful singles in the UK. The duo released their second Brit Award nominated album Black Cherry, in the beginning of 2003, reaching number nineteen on the UK album chart. Following the critical and commercial success of Black Cherry, the duo released their third album Supernature in the summer of 2005 to great success, peaking at number two in the UK and achieving platinum status, becoming Goldfrapp's most successful commercial release to date.

Film composer David Arnold will begin his work on the score in July.
