Cut Copy- Australian For Dance


After years of waiting in anticipation for the follow up to 2004's Bright Like Neon Love, Cut Copy has released a stunning album over the past weekend. In Ghost Colours is the culmination of Cut Copy's four year hiatus from the studio, and Dan Whitford & Co. do not disappoint. In Ghost Colours trumps the band's previous attempt in nearly every facet; it's louder, longer, and more immediately listenable. The band employs an array of synths, guitars, back-up vocals, ghostly noises, horn samples, and floor shaking beats to create the purest dance/pop album anyone could hope to hear. Songs flow into one another by way of placed interludes, which result in a fully coherent experience that demands an immediate replay. I can't stress hard enough how enjoyable In Ghost Colours really is, and since Cut Copy has posted most of the songs on myspace it's simple to get a taste of the euphoric electronica. I strongly recommend picking up this album if you like music at all. Stand out tracks include "Hearts on Fire", "Out There On Ice", "Strangers In The Wind", "Far Away", "Lights & Music", "Feel the Love", and many more, so get it right and get it tight by picking up In Ghost Colours today. 8.8- Pitchforkmedia.com
