Electro-pop duo, Data Romance is gearing up for the fall season and releasing their latest song “Spark.” Injected with icy electronic beats & whispery, unsettling vocals, “Spark” demonstrates the band’s continually evolving and growing sound.

Data Romance is Ajay Bhattacharyya and Amy Kirkpatrick. A happenstance meeting between the two, in their hometown of Victoria, BC, led them to discover each others’ artistic talents which would eventually be incorporated into their music. While the music and vocals seemingly come from opposite ends of the artistic spectrum, it’s this dichotomy that ultimately blends to create the band’s uniquely personal sound. The band released their self-titled debut EP this summer. Shortly after, the band joined the acclaimed IDentity Festival – hitting cities on the east coast and performing alongside bands like The Crystal Method, Rusko & Kaskade.
