about

Darkroom Data follow up their second single, media favourite ‘Hydrogen’, with their new electro pop odyssey ‘Groovatta’. A playful collage of sound featuring a distinctive sample from 80s, UK band ‘The System’, masterminded by cult producer, Bob Lamb whose credits include UB40 and Duran Duran.

“Groovatta is an invitation to step inside the curious smoke, like an anxious bird, flying to nowhere. Equally absent, equally present. Free-falling in a deep ocean of reverb and climbing on the spine of an arpeggiator, to rediscover all the things you will never live again and embrace the blank spaces of life, that can become anything…”

Visuals for the track were created by experimental filmmaker Moema Pascolini using a combination of found footage and film painting technique.

lyrics

I know you see me, fallen so far from the tree,
I've seen your face in here before.
Gave up the old ways, seven sins in seven days.
Will she be your lover or your ghost?

If you're done with ground control, come fine me at the intermission
If you wanna lose control, let me show you what you're missing

I wanna love you, I wanna love you, I wanna love you the way I want to, I want to take you over.

Mama's gonna bring your milk, feed the kid and kill the shrink
I see you faking baby, don't edit, don't edit
Dress your kiss, gotta move, Chinese hips were made to groove
There ain't no drama mama, take your pills enjoy your coma

I wanna love you, I wanna love you, I wanna love you the way I want to, I want to take you over.

Wanting, always looking
searching for that door
Feeling, always hoping
Believing more and more

Will I find it in your eyes
Or will I go home empty-handed?
Will I see it in your smile
Or do I always end up stranded?

Do I go on getting nowhere?
The world is low, the wind blows cold
Is there no one (Is there no one?)
I can hold on? (I can hold on)
It is tough I’ve been told

All the people and their places
The names and all their faces
What do they say?
They’re walking hand in hand
But do they understand
What games they play?
