cut copy

i lived in San Francisco for seven year, now i miss it everyday...

(s)

Their remix of Paris is Burning by Ladyhawke is quite good too.

Yeah, for me it's the album of the year now, this summer i fell in love with this record too. "Far Away" is my favourite perhaps, the chorus is the best Erasure refrain NOT written by Vince Clarke.

The ELO-vibe in some songs helps, too.

then get the Midnight Juggernauts album, it's even more down that particular vibe.

glorious remix of the best song on the album

"far away" hercules + love affair rmx

i agree, Far Away is my fav. on the album. not sure about this remix yet, thanks for posting it!

Between In Ghost Colours and the Midnight Juggernauts album, I'm really worrying about where my musical tastes seem to be going these days.

Why was I so late to the party on this one?

Fockin great band. My fav is Unforgettable season.

Why would you be worried?

It's a lot of disco for a dirty dronerock girl to be listening to. ;-)

Dirty Dronerock tends to be disco hiding under piles of feedback!

No it's not! Most dronerock is about the furthest thing you can get from disco! Which is a big problem I have with dronerock.

But it's OK. Cut Copy are indie boys that like disco, yeah? It's like New Order or something. Yeah, I can blame New Order for this recent dance music invasion of my record collection.

Upthread I said something along the lines of "I like the songs where they're aping Severed Heads more than the songs where they're aping New Order" re: In Ghost Colours so I do think New Order is exactly the right comparison point to start from.

Also you're right, dirty dronerock tends to be trance hiding under piles of feedback.

I wish it were trance hiding under piles of feedback! Too much of the time it's boring, ultra-conventional and staid NME/Carling Rawk hiding under black leather jackets and JAMC shades.

I live in the breakdown on "Far Away" get on my level

all-time summer album imo

This seems to be one of those albums that I get out at this time of year, just when I've given up hope that it will ever be not-Winter again.

In South London, it is cold and wet and horrible and I fear I may never see the sun again. It Australia, it's summer and Cut Copy are having a big party. I can be invited just by putting this on my iPod.

Are they/he ever going to do anything else? It has been a while since the last one. The advance bobbins from the Midnight Juggernauts album sounded a bit disappointing so I'm relying on this lot to bring the sunshine back.

they are playing @ lollapalooza, i see. when, though will there be a new lp?

they've been working on thangs in a warehouse in the melbourne burbs. the last one did take four years, though!

that must be them next door working on the organ sounds

i love me some Cut Copy. i finally bought Neon Love but don't love it like their last great album. can't wait for some new stuff by these guys.

i wish they still held their series of INDIE RAVEZ

their very first demo tape was in an 80s exhibition i saw in sydders recently

New song up: http://disconaivete.tumblr.com/post/1651055341/take-me-over

Sounds like they've been listening to a lot of Tango in the Night.

this kinda rules

have they ditched that horrible faux-beatles sound?

really not trying to be snide, but that last teaser single was awkward, uncharacteristic and terrible.

I hope so re: the faux-beatles thing.

I can't tell if I like this song on its own merits or because I love "Everywhere" so much.

man if it sounds like tango in the night i am in

doesn't sound like it plays to the band's strengths, but i do like tango in the night, so . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well, "Take Me Over" sounds nothing like that other shitty song, so I hope so.

I like this much more than that song, too.

I have no recollection of what that "teaser" single sounded like. I think I only listened to it half the way through once.

I . . . listened to it half the way through once

you poor soul.

run to church.

Come anticipate Cut Copy's 2011 album

Here's the thread about that terrible song.

I've listened to this three times in a row. I approve.

There's clips of their new stuff on this making of video and it all sounds like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Heyd4HJ2tpU

Shows them listening to Talking Heads and, err, Was Not Was.

Shows them listening to Talking Heads and, err, Was Not Was.

not a good sign imo

CUT COPY: STOP LISTENING TO TALKING HEADS AND WAS NOT WAS

CUT COPY: LISTEN TO MORE OF YOUR LAST ALBUM

lol

hell yeah

When people go around reviving the 1980s, they always forget 'Spy in the House of Love' for some reason.

f that if Cut Copy come out with a rip of Born Under Punches or Wheel Me Out and sort out the dreary vocals then thumbs up

This song is great, way better than the dodgy Beach Boys pastiche from earlier this year. What incredibly famous song does that bassline remind me of again?

Fleetwood Mac - "Everywhere"

It does, but that's not the one I was thinking of, something naffer.

wow this REALLY sounds like tango in the night

it really sounds like 'everywhere' specifically! in a good way

He even says "I can hear it callin'."

I don't mind the similarities, btw. I wish more people would write songs based on "Everywhere," or at least cover it like Vampire Weekend and A Sunny Day in Glasgow have done.

it becomes apparent after a minute or so that there's not really any song there
