New Cut Copy - "So Haunted"

Fans of the synthtastic dance, rejoice, Cut Copy are very nearly back with a new album. Only it's less synthastic dance, and more hard guitar/four-to-the-floor rock. What's Tim Goldsworthy done to 'em? The DFA man's helmed the forthcoming record In Ghost Colours here in NYC, and the first 0:40 would make ya think he was taking 'em out to Mercury more than he was [insert your favorite NY dance club here]. But there are shifts abound, like a lush pop hook, and then finally, some some dance action in the bridge/breakdown/ride-out. Need some new Copy sounds? There's three of 'em in here, one for each member...



Cut Copy - "So Haunted" (MP3)

"Lights And Music" will be the big, official first single from the record. Expect it (with a full platter of remixes) sometime next year. In Ghost Colours is out early '08 on Modular.

Hmmmm....dunno about this one. Chorus sounds like ELO but the rest...sounds pretty disappointing. I like the chill syntho stuff better.

i kind of liked them more when they were techno-esque, "Saturdays" was a brilliant song.

'saturdays' is an awesome song. i really loved '...neon love', but i was disappointed when i heard 'hearts on fire'. would be hard to make a decent follow-up though, that album was nonstop greatness.

any new cut copy is welcome. you can tell they start to get nasty at the end and cut this down from the full version.

Well Benski, this is what they said in a recent interiew:

"We were listening to lots of different things like ELO, Animal Collective and The Sleepy Jackson"

Mak of that what you will :-)
