Blackroom - What Is It That You Want from BLACKROOM on Vimeo.
Blackroom, formerly known as Lorraine (we can see why they ditched that idea) hail from Norway and it would appear they got tired of waiting for New Order to get back together and just decided to do it themselves. So yes, 'What Is It That You Want' really sounds like it could be a New Order track - albeit one given a little bit of a prog-trance remix with those thick keyboard stabs - but it's catchy enough that I forgive it.
The video here is directed by Jørgen Håland and despite its minimalism it manages to convey the dance floor alienation of the record.
'What Is It That You Want' is out now on Souldrop, available from Amazon.co.uk on MP3 [affiliate link]. More on Blackroom on their official site (which currently points at MySpace).
