Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Far more fun than the eighties actually were at the time, the second album from Melbourne’s Cut Copy, In Ghost Colours, is one of the slickest and most varied reinterpretations of the era to appear in the last five years. Selective nostalgia means that every sound from the past is open to reappraisal and Cut Copy have moved on from the sometimes slavish devotion to New Order that dominated their first album, 2004’s enjoyably familiar Bright Like Neon Love. By comparison In Ghost Colours is nearer to the dense pop of Electronic, Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner’s often overlooked collaboration, especially the brash, acoustic guitar driven opener "Feel The Love" and the brash "Lights and Music". But on tunes like the lush "Hearts On Fire" and the more abrasive "So Haunted", Dan Whitford and crew also nod to the experimental pop of the Cure and Depeche Mode and the now familiar sonic attack that My Bloody Valentine originated (and Snow Patrol eventually turned into pop). Less obviously, late period ELO, increasingly adored by studio head, prove to be an influence. The producer here is none other than DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy, and though Cut Copy are far from the bittersweet hedonism of his other recent clients Hercules And Love Affair, In Ghost Colours works both as contemporary dance-rock and, edited without gaps, as a complete album.--Steve Jelbert


CD Description

Cut Copy return with the release of their second album 'In Ghost Colours', which follows their highly acclaimed 2004 debut 'Bright Like Neon Love'. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, the band produce a sound the blends indie rock and 60s psychedelia with 80s synths and electronics to superb effect.There is a haunting undertone to the album, with frontman Dan Whitford showing a more expressive and involving vocal style then on the previous record. Singles include 'Lights AndMusic'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things tighten up on their sophomore LP, with a little help from an LCD., 9 April 2008
By Doctor Trance (MA, United States) - See all my reviews
Bright Like Neon Love came out 4 years ago and was an excellent debut album from this Aussie electro indie band. I liked it a lot, but couldn't helped thinking when listening to it, that it was on the cusp of something grand, where maybe not even the band realized how close they were to pushing up and over that edge. Album co-producer and LCD Soundsystem member Tim Goldsworthy may have been just the extra touch they needed to push this exciting band to the upper realms of electronic indie land.

The songs really tighten up and there are a lot more lyrics and vocal tracks than their debut LP. It also clocks in at over 50 minutes, while Bright Like Neon Love was under 43 minutes. Gone are some of the elongated electro instrumentation with a few strips of interlaced vocals found on Bright Like Neon Love. These songs are much more pop aligned, and judging by the strength of some of them, enough to extend their listening audience to an even broader range.

There's a treasure trove of catchy tunes, including the opener, Feel The Love, the progressive rocker So Haunted, and the unexpected leftfield turn when the chorus kicks in during Lights and Music. 80's backing electronica is again the theme, especially on Far Away, where you could have placed it onto any new wave, synth-pop album between 1984 and 1987 and no one would have even noticed. The dreamy interludes are a nice touch, as they glide and connect us through 15 tracks without a bad hitch at any of the stops along the way.

Harmonious from top to bottom and very well produced, this 2nd album is one of the best examples of how talented, non-mainstream, electronic artists can really be. I wish the band much success, and let this highly recommended album do the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Melbourne calling....., 15 Jun 2008
At first listen this seems like a heady brew of a poppier version of the cure mixed with some of the best bits of Underworld,then it mutates and changes into something gloriusly different and somewhat unique.

Australian three piece Cut Copy have hit the jackpot here with a seamlessly linked album of indie-dance classics and strange instrumentals links between tracks, the bubbling euphoria of "Lights and Music" contrasts with the slightly brooding "So Haunted".

Australian dance music is looking very promising in 2008...check out Pendulum and The Presets as well.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Not so difficult second album..., 13 April 2008
By Lj HUME - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After catching the brilliant Hearts on Fire, my expectations for Cut Copy's second album were immensely high. So when I heard the follow up singles So Haunted and Lights and Music I wasn't really sure what to expect as the sound had become a lot poppier - was this a move in the wrong direction from the excellent eclectic first album?
OK - theres no Bright Neon Payphone but aside from that this album is almost completely faultless in a way albums should be. You can listen and enjoy from beginning to end without having to skip past the more 'average' tracks - there simply are none. True, there are a few interludes of experimental noodling but these are brief and actually quite welcome in the mix - much like on Depeche Modes Violator.
Cut Copy wear their influences quite clearly tattooed on their forehead. If Peter Hook gets a listen he may be off to Australia to have words about the riff at the end of Hearts on Fire. However, this is all a good thing. The album may be a missing link between New Orders Technique and Electronics debut album but that again is fine and dandy.
Cut Copy have excelled themselves with an album that clearly embraces both the revived eighties discotronic and much loved indie jangle. Its nothing immediately new but it sounds very fresh and alive. Well done indeed.
