Artist of the Day: Cut Copy

Attention early-teenaged children of parents who met at raves: I sense imminent danger. You risk being the first generation who will, when the music blasting through your poster-lined bedroom walls is interrupted by your parents knock gingerly on the door, face a chilling amount of enthusiasm from the folks. For them, it’s a miracle, a godsend. This 4/4 floor-thumping music is not the cliche “jibber-jabber,” it’s not “just noise.” In fact, it seems that these days they DO “make ‘em like they used to.” Scared yet? 

Cut Copy

In the Pitchfork scene, Cut Copy's Zonoscope was one of the most hyped albums of the first three months of 2011. Not knowing any of their songs, the hype drew me in for a listen. Just minutes after hearing "Take Me Over", I had downloaded the whole album. Well, once I finally controlled my legs from the dancing fever the track gave me. The whole album is full of some extremely fun synth-pop tracks, and the hooks throughout the album are excellent. This album deserved the BNM it got from p4k, and you can stream the full album here.
