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'.
