In 1999 the duo signed a contract with the London label Mute Records and released their debut album in 2000 , Felt Mountain out. The album, produced by PJ Harveysproducer John Parish, consists of Alisons vocals, partly changed by synthesizers. The album is influenced by various styles such as synth pop from the 80 's, classic film music and traditional folk music. In 2001, the album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

In 2003 the band released their second album, Black Cherry, out. The album sent Goldfrapps sound in a completely different direction, with hefty drum hits and a Wilder look. A number of songs from the album were used in commercials, such as "Strict Machine" and "Train" for the release of the Game Boy Advance SP, "TipToe" for Coca-Cola and "Twist" for Gancia. "Strict Machine" was also used for the fragrance "Night" by Armani. The song "Crystalline Green" came in the television series House over.
