The Third Truly Great Song Of 2008.
2008 is shaping up to be the year of local Australian music. The first proper retail single from the brilliant new Cut Copy album “In Ghost Colours” - their first since 2004’s “Bright Like Neon Love” and will be released through Modular in Oz on the 26th of March - is called “Lights & Music,” and is what you would very much call a proper electropop synth-mad stomper. After hearing a fair chunk of the new album and catching them live on New Years Day at Hot BBQ, this is just another Aussie release I’m hotly anticipating.
Here is the song in question (in YouTube video format,) which sees a proper physical CD single release on March the 1st.
.
A floor destroying chorus and what could possibly be the funkiest use of synths in Cut Copy’s history. I spoke to Mitchell, the Copy’s drummer, back in December, so expect that chat to end up on here at some point over the next few weeks. I can tell you now though that we talked about the recrafted version of “Hearts On Fire” that was going to end up on the new record… Bring on March 26th I say.
This makes the first three truly great songs of 2008 all by Australian artists. It’s going to be one helluva year…
