With Michael moved to Dubai and Madonna married to Guy Ritchie the 80’s needed a hero. Not since Mad Max crawled out of the outback spoiling for a fight has the great down under supplied us with a more suitable contender.
As surely as Adam begat Cain and Able so too does Cut Copy arrive seething with Mel Gibson’s dystopic fury, their Bret Easton Ellis electro the perfect synth antiodote to too worthy aspirants to their rightful throne.
DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy is a welcome scribe, taking notations from the altar of history as the Australians distort the space time continuum to suit their own ends. What glory to be so invited, what pleasure lie at the end of such a journey?
Well friends our scribe has returned, his suffering is our pleasure, his virtue our decadence and his Mount Sinai is crumbling under the weight of its own expectations. Behold the future past in all its timeline bending, bass bind shuddering splendor: In Ghost Colors.
Montreal will have their chance to repent on May 10 at Cabaret Music Hall w/ Black Kids – Buy Cut Copy Tickets Montreal or in Toronto 9 May 2008 at Lee’s Place also with Black kids.

alright, from the first track this album gets you, soo good. elastic synths just make you picture being drenched in sunshine, but i can see why it’s called ‘in ghost colours’ because there’s definitely a haunting undertone you can’t put your finger on. ‘bright like neon love’ was for the long hot endless summer 05, and hopefully this album will fill the niche in the summer of 08.
