Dec 17, 2020 Groove Armada By Lily Moayeri
A 10-year gap between albums, particularly in the dance music realm, is not as much of an anomaly as it used to be. For the decade between their last full-length release
Black Light (coupled with its self-remixed companion
White Light) and the latest album,
Edge of the Horizon, Groove Armada’s Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have kept plenty busy. Besides DJ gigs, they have their own festival (Lovebox), they put their names on multiple compilations, including ones from the high profile Fabriclive and Late Night Tales brands, and they got back on the road with their live band.

This Australian duo’s third album is an excellent set of buoyant, star-bound electronic grooves inflected with disco, house, funk, hip hop, soul, folk and much more, combining a wide range of samples with live instrumentation and an impressive lineup of guest vocalists ranging from Blood Orange, Leon Bridges and Perry Farrell to Denzel Curry, Tricky and Sampa the Great.
