Dance. Music. Forget genre tags. Forget signifiers, post- this and post- that’s. Plain and simple, Melbourne’s Cut Copy write brilliantly kinetic, instantly familiar dance music! And on their sophomore Modular full-length, In Ghost Colours -- the highly -anticipated follow-up to 2004’s monumental Bright Like Neon Love -- the band is dancing like never before, basking in the glow of the backbeat, in the grind of guitars, sunshiney synths and some of the finest pop hooks this side of FM radio. The lead single, “Lights and Music,” is total package material: rolling club-ready drums that command the body to move, keys swirling through space, a big, proud bass line, and Dan Whitford’s bewitching lead vocal.

"Pop lovers will find lots to love here, and if there's any justice, this record will keep them swooning through the summer."
- Pitchfork (Review 8.8)
"...a driving, post-new-wave anthem" - Spin.com
"By the time the album's strongest moment arrives in the danceable “Hearts on Fire”/“Far Away” combo, it's clear that Cut Copy is mining a rich musical amalgam that its contemporaries have yet to discover." - Paste Magazine
Right about now, Cut Copy is celebrating the release of their latest album with a no-holds-barred tour de force of North America. Coachella and the desert of California is the first stop, before the band tears up and down the west coast, through the Midwest, into Canada, and pretty much every where else you could imagine. Which is only fitting. After all, this stuff deserves to be heard in every corner of the world. Next stop: everywhere!
