Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours
Modular / Interscope (4/8/08)
Dance / Pop / Rock
I've been familiar with the Modular label for awhile. With the likes of The Presets, Chromeo, Klaxons and MSTRKRFT among others on board, I wanted to check out Cut Copy. However, when I finally got around to listening to their debut album, Bright Like Neon Love, I wasn't overly impressed. The album just didn't jump out and grab me. Frankly, it seemed pretty cookie-cutter, like albums by dozens of the band's contemporaries. While the album was fun, and upbeat, it lacked something other than its obvious throwback to '80s synthpop sound. I figured this was another band that would unfortunately get lost in the shuffle.
However, when I heard Tim Goldsworthy (band member of LCD Soundsystem, programming guru and joint owner of DFA Records) was going to be co-producing this new album, I figured I'd give them another shot, and thank goodness I did.
