cut copy

heard them at rhapsody sxsw party. was working outside of the venue at the time, but it was decent.

the cut copy record has been criminally slept on i think

^^^^^^^^^^big OTM

first record, i mean

That's the one with Time Stands Still, isn't it? Yeah, it's good.

But since I grew up in the 80s, I have an inexhaustible thirst for 80s pastiche and homages, which is a large part of Cut Copy's first disc.

"So Haunted" is quite good.

It's a bit of a slog for me getting to the chorus of So Haunted. The chorus is quite good, tho (as are the keyboards at the end of the song). Hearts On Fire is -- to me -- the better track (not surprisingly, it sounds more like the debut). Surprisingly, that sax at the end of the song is a nice touch, too.

This new one is a little overlong by 3 or maybe 4 songs, but when everything clicks its really pretty good.

whoa, "Far Away."

i like all the gauzy MBV-type sounds on this. you can overdo that stuff really easily - hi dere, 'nu-gaze' genre - but there's enough of a backbone for it to work.

have a mic: cut copy - 'so cosmic'

that synth breakdown on "Far Away" is excellent. I think I really like this album, a lot!

"Far Away" is probably my favorite track on the album at this point. wau

yea either that or "Hearts on Fire" for me....I'm not crazy about "Lights and Music" which is apparently the new single, but am excited for the remixes (are there any???)

also, is that mix any good? I'm tempted to check it out

"Lights and Music" sounds like New Young Pony Club, but I'm totally OK with that.

am excited for the remixes (are there any???)

the boys noize one is sublime

wow, never would have imagined someone would describe boys noize as sublime

it totally is!!

Album of the year so far for me.

i like this but not nuts about lights and music, which is kinda boring?

It's the single?

xpost. YES

The rest of the album is better.

He kind of goes in and out of his australian accent which is annoying, but i guess I'm looking for that.

I've a terrible rip, but what I've heard is just gorgeous. If the singer really says "I get so horny that I fall in your dreams tonight" in "So Haunted," it's my lyric of the year.

It's all over slsk now in 256

lights and music REALLY reminds me of rotund-era severed heads

(and that's a good thing)

he's probably saying "i get so haunted"

ugh

i thought it was a reference to 2 live crew's 'me so haunted'

out there on the ice again

the b&w cover/colour overlay slipcase is gorgeous designwise, but I've only taken the thing out three times and it's already worn a huge groove in the front of the digipak

at their show last night I couldn't not hear him singing this :(

really stoked for new album to come out AND to see them live soon

OH SHIT IT'S OUT!

or maybe not until 4/8?

Out 04.08.08.

i swear it said march 22 on their myspace

Release dates shift around a lot these days, I think.

Mebbes that was Australia release date. Coz I've seen billboards saying "out now".

it was for the online store limited signed copy bullshit

bullshit on bullshit, it's been out for a couple of weeks and debuted at #1 on this week's charts.

Jack Johnson !!!!!!!

<3<3

am extremely impressed at the #1 debut

They've advertised it heavily.

And so they should have, it's great.

modular's marketing weight is considerable. not to put down his very entertaining record but it's tremendous marketing clout that put muscles into the top 20

everyone wanted the free bag
