Cut Copy In Ghost Colours Review, Filter Mag #30

The title of Cut Copy's new LP is a juxtaposition symbolic of its sound. The Cutter's music is ghostly and ethereal, creating a sonic wall that is set against some of the lovliest, shimmering retro-electro-disco you've ever heard. Although there are many rock elements included--producer Tim Goldsworthy seems to be heavily influenced by Kevin Shields --this is not a rock record. It's a dance, synth--driven album that blends elements of house, trance, electro-beats and Euro pop into a unified whole--all the while transporting you to the sunny coast of Australia where your futuristic shades reflect the summer sun. "Lights and Music" captures this to a tee, and ravers and rockers alike will undoubteldly throw their fists up in the air in unison as if to come together under a greater "understanding." Now this is the Modular revolution.

I gave it a 87%, which is a damn near perfect score at Filter.

Here they are live at South by Southwest
Miss. Toats (iheartcomix) and Adam--Mr. Modular U.S.--straight diggin' it.

Cut Copy live=pure happiness! I haven't smiled like this in weeks. I think I can attribute my half a year I spent in the Gold Coast of Australia for my Cut Copy/Presets addiction.

It all started 2 and a half years ago at Big Day Out, but that's another story.

Neon Neon Record Release Party @ Indie 103.1 Check One...Two @ The Viper

Combining the forces of Gruff Rhys of the welsh psych-rock outfit, Super Furry Animals and the electric and eclectic production of electronic/hip hop producer Boom Bip, ignites the shimmering sonic glow that is Neon Neon. The album was based on American engineer John DeLorean, most famous for his development of the muscle car which we all know from Back to the Future!

Tonight they celebrated the release of their record with none other than Har Mar up on stage! Here they are performing their track appropriately called "Dream Cars."

They even had a muscle car illegally parked in the loading zone outside of the Viper on Sunset. Yes, my girl La La and I got in to take a picture...it was like Disneyland.

I'll leave you with my favorite video
