Set for release on October 2, Edge of the Horizon will be the band’s seventh studio album and is said to be “[i]nspired by 20 years of tunes that soundtracked travels, sunsets & aftershows”.

Speaking about the album’s recording process, Andy Cato – one half of Groove Armada – said: “During those studio days, the rest of the world shuts down. There’s an intensity, anyone looking in might say madness, that kicks in when we’re totally lost amongst the instruments, synths and records day and night. But that shared, unspoken feeling that comes when we both know we’ve got it right cuts through as clear as ever”.

Alongside the announcement, the duo released new single Lover 4 Now, featuring vocals from garage DJ and producer Todd Edwards. With a languid disco beat and bouncy, summery vibe, the band said the track was made to capture a specific moment: “Ibiza. Poolside at Pikes, that time of the evening when day becomes night and anything seems possible”.

The duo had teased the new record back in April with the release of Get Out On The Dancefloor, featuring the pair’s usual pulsating club dance beats alongside the vocals of fellow electronic dance musicians Empire of the Sun and Pnau’s Nick Littlemore.

Edge of the Horizon is the band’s first new studio album since the release of Black Light and White Light in 2010. Since then, the duo have taken their ‘Superstylin’ grooves across several tours and were set to headline Bluedot Festival this summer, but will instead top the bill next year after the event was postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
