Ground Control is the fourth studio album by English drum and bass band Rudimental, released on 3 September 2021 through Asylum Records. [3] It is their final album to feature Amir Amor, who left the band in October 2022. [4]
In an interview with HMV and Rudimental member Piers Aggett, he talked about the writing process of Ground Control whilst in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic and stated that the album material started surfacing even before their third album Toast to Our Differences was released. Aggett said, "COVID was actually a bit of a blessing for us. Normally we tour all the time, certainly all summer, and it gave us a summer at home for the first time in a long time. We made the whole album in lockdown. A lot of the songs were actually written in 2018." He elaborated, "We went to Los Angeles and we did a bunch of writing out there. Lots of the songs are from those sessions. That’s the way we tend to work, we go on a trip, we write a lot and then it takes us a long while to actually work on the songs and finish them. The pandemic made us productive because suddenly there wasn't a gig at the weekend and we could really focus." [5]
The album was described by the band as referencing from their earlier material but infused with more soul. Upon the release of the album, the band stated that the record is intended to be seen as a two-sided album - "side A touches on our roots, the pirate radio stations and influences we grew up with, and side B flows deeper into soul and darker textures and atmospheres."
