Black Light by Groove Armada
Black Light is an album by Groove Armada, released in 2010. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Paper Romance”, on 1 list with a best position of #70.
Black Light, Groove Armada's sixth studio album, came out on Cooking Vinyl in 2010 and finds Andy Cato and Tom Findlay raiding the '80s synth cupboard for the first time. The English duo split the difference between the chart-friendly polish of Soundboy Rock and the rockier swagger of Lovebox, and the ghosts in the machine are easy to name: Bowie, Gary Numan, New Order, Roxy Music, even Fleetwood Mac.
Bryan Ferry turns up among the singers, alongside Will Young, Nick Littlemore, Jess Larrabee, Saint Saviour and Fenech-Soler, and the whole thing plays like a neon-lit dance-rock night out. "Paper Romance" made the FIFA 11 soundtrack, and the album picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album.
