If you need an introduction to where Cut Copy are on their third album Zonoscope, Need You Now is a pretty good introduction. They’ve obviously moved on somewhat from the much-imitated sound of previous record In Ghost Colours (punchy waves of 80s synths). On their latest release, there’s a lot more space, a lot more [...]

FRIDAY TIME. 5 more songs for your listening consideration. All very good, trust me. Rebecca & Fiona – Bullets Swedish duo introduced on Arjan Writes earlier in the week. This is a demure, laidback slice of dance pop, with some nice smooth guitar action as a bonus. Sounds a bit like Tegan & Sara’s poppier [...]
New Cut Copy track that sounds like Cut Copy (finally)
Posted: 20th January 2011 by instanthits in ReleasesTags: cut copy
For anyone worried that Cut Copy had entirely abandoned their distinctive (and much-imitated) sound, here’s some light relief. Pharaohs & Pyramids may be slightly less obvious than some of the In Ghost Colours singles, but it could happily slot onto that album. That’s not to say we’ve just been sat here waiting for more of [...]

Single of the Week: Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire It’s probably about time something on Modular got my single of the week, given that they’ve produced a pretty solid stream of dark, melodic electro-rock gems this year. As is customary, the vocals evoke Depeche Mode without being a straight rip-off, and it’s backed by [...]

Single of the Week: Santogold – L.E.S. Artistes Simply head-and-shoulders above everything else released this week. While it’s an entirely different prospect to previous low-key release Creator, it puts all those M.I.A. mk.II labels to the side, exposing Santi White as, if less interesting than her former tour-mate and collaborator, a little more diverse and [...]
