GRAMMY® AWARD NOMINATION
FOR “BEST DANCE / ELECTRONIC ALBUM”
WITH ‘BLACK LIGHT’ (OM RECORDS)

Not many bands on their sixth album could be described as bold, brave, fresh, adventurous or representing a new creative peak, but GROOVE ARMADA's brilliant Black Light (OM Records) is all of those things and more. Twelve years into a career as purveyors of top drawer dance music, Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have completely reinvented their sound with thrilling results which have garnered them a Grammy® nomination for “Best Electronic/Dance Album.”  This marks GROOVE ARMADA’s third Grammy® nomination following “Superstylin’” for “Best Dance Recording” in 2003 and “Easy” also for “Best Dance Recording” in 2004.

Voted one of the top 10 albums of 2010 by Los Angeles tastemaker radio station KCRW and a #1 most downloaded electronic album on iTunes and Amazon, Black Light features many standout hit singles including “Paper Romance” featuring Fenech-Soler and SaintSaviour, “I Won’t Kneel” featuring SaintSaviour and “History” with Will Young, a #1 most downloaded electronic song on iTunes.
