"Free of all major label agendas, we have
made the record we wanted to make, says Andy. “We
got that same combination of live band and electronics going in
the studio that have made GA live special. We found vocalists that
would keep working with us until it was right. There have been some
difficult months, but maybe that's why they are the best songs we
have written. If we had to choose one record for the time capsule,
this is it."
Written and produced by Andy Cato
and Tom Findlay, ‘I Won’t Kneel’
received its world premiere from Annie Mac on BBC
Radio One (September 18th) in the UK.
‘I Won’t Kneel’
is available in the following formats: CD
Single / 12" / Digital Track / itunes Single / STD Digital
Single. The track features a scintillating vocal
from female singer SaintSaviour, who has been described
as a cross between Kate Bush and Anthony
& The Johnson’s. She owned the stage with her
performance on Groove Armada’s highly energised
set, at their very own creation, Lovebox Festival
in July.
"We've worked with a lot of legends,”
says Andy Cato talking about their newfound vocalist
SaintSaviour. “Now we've found one. We've
done just a couple of ‘Black Light Live’ warm-up gigs
with her so far, but already I'm only ever asked one question. Who
IS that girl?"
SaintSaviour will illuminate the
live stage with Groove Armada in October when she
fronts their ‘Black Light’ shows in
the UK. She also features on several tracks on Groove Armada’s
hotly awaited forthcoming new album along with a whole host of fascinating
collaborators including Bryan Ferry, Fenech
Soler and Nick Littlemore from PNAU/Empire
Of The Sun.
Last month Groove Armada launch
their eagerly awaited return with the release of their explosive
new track ‘Warsaw’ – a sneak
preview from their hotly anticipated new album ‘Black
Light’. ‘Warsaw’ was
available immediately after Pete Tong pushed the
button for its worldwide premiere on BBC Radio One
back on September 4th as a free download. The following day Groove
Armada played one of their legendary live sets at Warsaw
Peace Festival to a 70,000 strong crowd.
Produced by Groove Armada (Andy Cato and
Tom Findlay) and co-written by Groove Armada
and Nick Littlemore from PNAU & Empire
Of The Sun, the free download was a breathtaking taster
from their new record set for release in February 2010, their first
on GA Recordings in a worldwide partnership with Cooking Vinyl.
