Music Under Fire

If you think music this year sucks so far, then have a listen. Perhaps you've been missing out on that electro vibe that hits you every 3-6 months. That's the way it works for me anyway. Cut Copy is one of those groups that strikes my fancy in just the right way. After listening to Cut Copy's second full length LP In Ghost Colors in late March, I know I'll be picking this album apart throughout the year and piecing each song for a different event. It brings back fond memories of Bright Like Neon Love.

The Australian electronic groove-makers are composed of Dan Whitford, Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott. For a first-time Cut Copy listener, the vocals may sound a bit like Modern English ("I Melt With You") with influences from Daft Punk. If you enjoy a solid synthesizer album, some poppy guitar melodies but most importantly some club-thumping electronica, this may be your best shot all year.

Cut Copy's In Ghost Colors was made available on March 22nd, but more importantly, iTunes is offering it as a free download. You if you think our version isn't up to par, we suggest you hop on it since the free download won't be available after Tuesday (4/8/08).
