Black Light

Groove Armada

A sharp pivot into nocturnal synth-pop and 80s new wave. Darker, guitar-heavy, and densely layered, it swaps Ibiza sunshine for cold urban neon.

January 29, 2010 · BMG

A sophisticated, nocturnal blend of defiance and melancholy set against a backdrop of shimmering analog synths.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the driving bassline of Paper Romance builds into a soaring, guitar-flecked climax that feels both epic and intimate.
The sudden shift in Warsaw where the industrial-tinged synths give way to a haunting, melodic vocal hook.
The vulnerability in Bryan Ferry's voice on Shameless, perfectly framed by shimmering, Roxy Music-inspired production.
