Product Description
Album Description
The debut album, 'Bright Like Neon Love', sees garage rock and melodic electronics married perfectly together. Imagine Sonic Youth taking on the Pet Shop Boys, or Daft Punk conducting New Order. Romantic notions are offered in 'Future', a sprightly example of French touch electro pop as played by New Order, with low, dispassionate vocals evocative of half-remembered nostalgia. Indeed, the album is characterised by a hazy affection for teenage days gone by. The new romantic disco of 'Saturdays' offers the age-old conundrum of yearning for someone who doesn't reciprocate your affections, and 'Saturdays (Reprise)' is like an updated soundtrack to the sublime stoner flick Dazed And Confused. This is a wonderful album for the summer months ahead. 2005.

Daft 80's dance rock magic-
July 17 2004
Format:Audio CD
My favorite record(original artist) this summer; imagine a mixture of Daft Punk with a Human League/Depeche Mode type affair with some nice lyrics and guitar licks to keep it fresh and new without sounding like rehashed electroclash(not to say that it is all bad) + you've got a great summer record you can dance too and will most assuredly will hear in the club(maybe remixed). I believe one of the producers is Phillipe Zdar of Cassius; but all of the production holds up to make it a complete album w/ some rock gusto.
Almost the savior of Electroclash
Jun 22 2004
Format:Audio CD
Almost, but not quite. Cut Copy, a one man band from Australia does some things to tart up the electroclash corpse and almost gives it new life. He adds guitars and a new wave feel plus plenty of Human League "Dare" period synth pads (well I guess properly the sound belongs to Martin Rushnett). "The Future" sounds like a track left off of "Love and Dancing," (the dub extraction of "Dare.")
The result is decidedly 80s flavored and in spots classic (synthpop) in its sound. Cut Copy has an ear for a good sounding loop and itty bitty hooks. But a loop does not a song make.
Perhaps Cut Copy was trying to claim some of the territory that Air and Daft Punk have mapped out, but frankly Air and Daft Punk do that better. I think Cut Copy would have been wiser to focus on writing some decent songs. I think often what people miss about the 80s and even Human League (especially Human League) was that behind the wall of electronics were decent songs, songs you could hum. Try humming "The Future."
Promising and clearly talented, Cut Copy just needs to sit down and write a few killer singles.
Fans of Air and Daft Punk might enjoy this slightly faded copy. 80s new wave/synthpop fans will probably zone out about 5 minutes in...
Album of the year... so far
May 20 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is very special record. Following up from the more electronic debut 'I thought of numbers' this is huge leap forward for Cut Copy. It has electronic influnces and you can hear that throughout, but the best thing is, it rocks. I stuggle to file this music because it is so diverse. There are a lot different sounds that make up a Cut Copy track. The layering on one track gives way to something simple and attention grabbing on the next track. The composition of the album is special. I found 'Bright like neon love' inspiring in so many ways. It is pushing the boundaries between rock and dance, but in a cool way. This is something new and refreshing. If you like what the Rapture, Franz Ferdinand, the Liars and Phoenix are doing you should love this. In mentioning those bands, I have to say that Cut Copy goes beyond any of those in where the music is derived from. You may hear some Prince, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, Joy Division, Guided by Voices and Bowie if you listen up. If you get a chance to see these guys live, grab it, otherwise you can make do with this peice of gold... gold I tell ya!
