Album of the Week: Cut Copy – "In Ghost Colours" (2008)

2010/01/24

Track 3: Lights & Music:

Since I found Cut Copy about a year ago, their album "In Ghost Colours" has become a staple in my life. It is an easy choice when I don't know what I want to listen to at the moment. Energetic yet relaxing. Turn it up and you can sing and dance. Turn it down low and it'll soothe you to sleep. Perfect music to put on the soundtrack to your life.

It is a solid album too, including songs morphing into one another and no single song sticking out as so much better or so much worse than the rest. I think any New Order fans out there, or New Wave in general will delight in this album. Listen for yourself and you decide.

Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Lights & Music" being my favorite.

Track 1: Feel the Love

Track 2: Out There On The Ice

Track 3: Lights & Music

Track 5: Unforgettable Season

Track 9: Hearts On Fire

Track 10: Far Away

Track 12: Strangers In The Wind

Cut Copy – "Feel The Love" (2008)

2009/05/20

This band from Australia is definitely one to watch …er… listen to. I heard a 10 second clip a couple months ago and said to myself "wait a minute… what was THAT?" It was from this song and I now have both their albums. I'm not sure if this is my favorite song or not. The albums are still "sinking in" for me.

As I was telling my compadre at
'Me, And All My Friends's' on his "best so far of 2009" post, "if you like Cut Copy, I'd suggest checking out Ladyhawke and perhaps Ladytron if you haven't already… Daft Punk too? New Order's – "Crystal" perhaps?" I think perhaps I should've added "Hey Champ" to the list too!

In fact the more I think about it, the more I think they are like the love child of New Order and Daft Punk. House and New Wave lovers unite! (…which is funny because Wikipedia doesn't have them as either New Wave or House. Electropop and Dance-Punk it is then.)
