AMG Review of Black Light

John Bush
All Music Guide

Six full-lengths and 12 years into their career, Groove Armada have produced their dark album, a record that translates the dense, frenzied sound of Anglo-American dance-pop of the 2000s into the context of the duo's highly stylized productions. There's a clear focus to the record, too, virtually all of it centered on mainstream dance of the '80s Hi-NRG synth pop variety, including nods to Bronski Beat, Soft Cell, and Human League.
