The youtube account iamamiwhoami has created a viral guessing game among the musical blogosphere. Two visually stunning, and shocking teaser trailer clips were uploaded, but the clips have not been claimed by any musical artist. The suspected artists include Christina Aguilera, Goldfrapp, The Knife, Ladytron and Lady Gaga. Regardless of who it is many people including myself are very interested in following this viral marketing mystery.
The videos are a bit disturbing, and I suggest if you are eating something finish it before continuing
My verdict on the whole question of who is featured is as followed.
The music is defiantly reflective of what Goldfrapp has produced in the past. Also the whole living nature element has been visited in several Goldfrapp videos. The coloring of one of the videos is similar to Goldfrapp and Ladytron. Also Goldfrapp album is coming out in March.
So pretty much I think it is a very creepy version of Goldfrapp. Now I suppose it’s time to ask who you think is behind the videos.

Even before I saw your opinion I thought the same: Goldfrapp. It’s very Goldfrappy, from the music to the quirky/weird/nature theme.
I can’t wait for the new album, apparently it’s more uptempo

Goldfrapp’s next album defiantly looks more uptempo especially judging by the cover art or her latest album. But I did love felt mountain and 7th Tree.

Assuming you heard “Rocket” and “Believer” by now, do you still think it’s Goldfrapp? I’m having doubts…

Yes. Totally. The video still seems very Goldfrapp(esque), but fits in nowhere with the latest music she is putting out.

I think you may be thinking of a different Goldfrapp, you know the one that put out the ground breaking Felt Mountain in 2000. Not the one that has spent the last 10 years failing to be as sexy and pop as kylie Minogue, and ripping of 70’s and 80’s disco and synth pop albums.
