Cut Copy giveaway?

Cut Copy's long-awaited follow-up to Bright Like Neon Love, titled In Ghost Colors, is finally out today!

You can download it from iTunes or amazon.com, or pick up a physical copy from amazon or your favorite retailer. I've had a copy for about six weeks, and there have hardly been days where I don't listen to it at least once. Yes, it is that good.

The album sounds like Cut Copy should: it fits their classic synth/rock hybrid sound, but updated a bit, with recording and additional production by the DFA's Tim Goldsworthy - don't worry though, his touch is extremely subtle, so it doesn't sound like a DFA record (though I love the sound Tim and James Murphy have built, I don't want my Cut Copy to sound like them). If you imagine ELO at their finest (think "Evil Woman" and "All Over The World"), crossbred with the Rapture and Discovery-era Daft Punk, you get a taste of the sound. Almost every song on the record has these distinct, and all really excellent, parts, so a song like "Hearts On Fire" may start out with a synth-pop bounce, but then the ravey pre-chorus comes in, which is followed by a saxophone bridge. Heyo! Essentially these are the most perfect-sounding pop songs you will hear this year, and if the band comes to your town, do whatever you have to do to attend - they sound phenomenal live.

So, there you have it - In Ghost Colours is great, but the big deal with this post is that our friends at Modular told me we could give away a couple of copies of the CD, as well as tote bags, 3D glasses, and sticker goodies!

Just email me - blair [at] music.for-robots.com - with 'Cut Copy Giveaway' as the subject line, and I'll pick two winners at random. Get to it!
