I'm not really a fan of dance/electropop music but I actually like this group... they came here last year and they were supporting Kylie Minogue's concert. Heard they were very good so I gave them a try. They have a very cool style!

 

Anyone who likes them as well?

*raises hand high*

its very interesting to see where they are most popular. ironically they have enjoyed minimal success in australia, rather their label mates The Presets have dominated the dance/techno scene for the last 15 months and in my opinion are the superior band. on the other hand Cut Copy have been very very well received in the UK and Europe and growing popularity in north america. i think that has alot to do with the fact that cut copy have more of a european vibe about them whereas The Presets sound alot more aussie with alot of rock influence.

 

personally i thought In Ghost Colours was a tad too long and those 1min tracks were trivial and superfluous. but still i think i put it at No.9 on my list of favourite albums of 2008. for the record i put The Presets Apocolypso at No.3.

Yeah, agreed about the album length. If it was about a quarter shorter it would have been much much better.

They have a really cool sound, I particularly enjoy the songs that run into each other smoothly like "Out There On the Ice" and "Lights and Music". I'd love to see them in concert.

this place needs one for Cut Copy! :dance:

bumped for Lauren.

DANG! ok thanks jiggs. sorry, i did a search and didnt find it.

 

anyways, i love cut copy!

Yeah, it was just started the other day....and I haven't added it to the band index yet.

oh ok well cool thanks! :hug:

love you jiggs

Cut Copy fucking rock!!!!!!!!

 

 

In Ghost Colours was one of the best albums of 2008. Such a good listen.

hope they bring out their next record early next year but they seem like the type of band who like to spend extended periods of time in the studio. i dont mind how long it takes as long as its brilliant like In Ghost Colours. anyone who has listened to that record properly would be lying if they said its not in their top 10 of the year.

"lights and music" and "hearts on fire" are awesome

Let's bump this mofo. CUT COPY IS THE GREATEST.

 

For all of you noobs who've yet to listen to this epic band: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCRuCAcAZK0]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/ame]

this is for the aussies here.

 

out of the people who like the presets and cut copy (if there are any out there) which band do you prefer?? i can only really compare apocolypso and in ghost colours. last year i enjoyed apocolypso alot more than in ghost colours. but now 8 months into 09 i prefer listening to in ghost colours. the album has aged much better than the presets one.

"lights and music" and "hearts on fire" are awesome

 

Agree.

 

I don't have Apocalypso nor In Ghost Colours, but I love the singles from both bands. From what I've heard from others, IGC is a stronger record than Apocolypso, which goes a bit weird halfway through.

I do intend on purchasing both very soon.

Okay, I've spent the last two days listening to both records. Can't say if I prefer one over the other; I think CC is more of a relaxed, daytime record, and Presets for late nights, when you're in an energetic mood.

The way CC's album is mixed reminds me of Madonna's 'Confessions on a Dancefloor'- every song just flows into one another.

^Yep, flows perfectly.

Agree with the flow. I think CC's 2nd album is more consistent than the presets, good songs the whole way through, whereas the preset's album is all over the place.

YAY! :cheesy:

cant wait!!!! my expectations are going to be really high so i hope im not disappointed

hopefully this album will flow as much as the second! :)

 

I watched the video, and from what it sounds like the album should be good!

I downloaded In Ghost Colours not too long ago, I still haven't listened to it properly though.
