Cut Copy Updates and Happenings
Things have been a little quiet lately for camp Cut Copy - or have they? The boys recently put rumours firmly to rest with the following message (we've taken the liberty of picking out some highlights), sent out to their loyal fan base late last week, bringing us all well and truly up to speed and into the 'now'.
#33: Old Gold - A Night Out With Cut Copy (2006)
Way back in 2006 Cut Copy pulled together a mix for Triple 5 Soul featuring the year's big dance floor tracks/bangers sprinkled with Cut Copy's electro-pop sensibilities turning out a mix for all seasons, for the people, not necessarily by the people. Think "The World is Running Down" by The Police being run down by Tiga's "You Gonna Want Me" melted effortlessly into Digitalism's "Zdarlight" and you've only really hit the tip. There's so much more, and not being one to spoil the surprises, as is with these things your ears will be the best judge.

Cut Copy - "Far Away" EP
Having delivered us party anthems "Lights & Music" and "Hearts On Fire", Aussie electro dreamboats Cut Copy show us their softer side with new single, "Far Away". Dan Whitford's heavenly voice will surely hit the heart, a song of prose to make any girl (or boy) weak from the waist down. From the cool calm and collected verse of synth driven disco, to the build up into fast paced, beatastic chorus, the track takes many a turn. A turning of the other cheek, a moody stripped back break down revelaing Cutter's sensitive side. A top notch number, from a top notch bunch of boys.
R.I.P. Nagi Noda
It was with immense shock and sadness that we received the news of the passing of one of the most ingeniously sparkling creative minds of our generation in Nagi Noda. We were extremely lucky not only to have the pleasure of witnessing her work, but also had the utmost honour of having a working relationship with Nagi, and it's heart-wrenching to see her time cut so short at just 33 years old.
Cut Copy
The musical lovechild of Melbournite Dan Whitford, Cut Copy was originally a solo project for Whitford to exercise his love of sampling and instrumental hip-hop. Not too long after the project’s conception, Whitford recruited pals Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott, traded in the sequencers for soundtracks, and recorded the I Thought of Numbers EP in 2001. Three years later, the posse eventually solidified the Cut Copy sound – scuzzy disco, post-post-punk, electric rock, space pop – on their debut album Bright Like Neon Love. 2008 saw the release of their critically lauded follow up, In Ghost Colours, cementing the Cutters’ dominance and unique sound.
