cut copy

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:

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

so someone just pointed out to me that the vocal sample on 'hearts on fire' is from

???

i guess what i mean is when you strip away the 'hey aren't we so proud of ourselves for biting FM' vibe the song underneath has no real depth to it

the chorus is ridiculously weak

Oh yeah, I wouldn't argue that. It's a sound song, not a hook song.

chorus is fine, not a standout one but dont rlly think thats what the song is 'about' the way it was for lights & music or hearts on fire

Need more of this Tango in the Night moment imo:

i like the new song!

are you sure about the "waiting for tonight" thing... i mean i can KIND OF hear it but only if i squint my ears

ohh-oh-oh

yeah i knew that's the part but stillllll... ok fine i believe you

What part and what about `Waiting for Tonight`?

new album coming, single here:

"Cold Water" is a song originally conceived in winter in Copenhagen, during a record cold fortnight of weather where I barely left my apartment (a time that feels strangely paralleled to now). Channeling the inhospitable conditions outside and using a few small pieces of instruments I had lying around, an idea for a song emerged. Then last year we managed to complete that idea in the studio together with the band. "Cold Water" is a song that felt significantly different from what we’d done in the past, and got us so excited that we wanted to build a group of songs around it in this new direction. And that’s what we did, also enlisting the help of Christoffer Berg (Fever Ray, The Knife, Depeche Mode) on mixing duties.

The end result was our forthcoming album titled Freeze, Melt which will be released later in the year.

Hah, just noticing I never even heard their 2017 record. This one sounds promising based on that track.

New album out today.
