In the latest example of 2009 just pwning when it comes to electro

music - did I really just use the word 'pwning'? - the Norwegian duo

better known as Datarock for its much anticipated sophomore effort.

Entitled Red and set release for September 1st, the 13 track effort

will be a long time coming for Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes, it will

mark the duo's first full-length release since 2005's Datarock

Datarock. But if you think the album's title is any indication of a

politically heavy album, think again says Saroea:

"We wear red tracksuits, that's all. But it was tempting to put in the

ambiguity of referring to the army of Datarockers as not the red army.

We are not political; we are more like cultural researchers I think,

with a shared fascination for events and phenomena that have changed

popular culture and music."

However, this doesn't mean Datarock didn't have any inspirations when

it came to the creation of Red. According to a press release, the album

is based on the idea of 'artistic theft,' which sees the group

reflecting - the data about the rock of the late seventies & early

eighties: the art, the music, the films, the subversive & popular

culture, the new theory, the new technology and all that new

equipment.'
