Cut Copy – "Need You Now"
Cut Copy has always been good: the Melbourne group's second album in particular, 2008's In Ghost Colours, is full of dizzying, sad, and smart electro-pop, but they've just outdone themselves with "Need You Now," a soaring number with a long, LCD Soundsystem-like build-up, pretty melody, and memorable, sweet refrain. It's deeply '80s, and epic in the way this album's cover is epic. The album, Zonoscope, comes out February 8 on Modular. [Via]
I loved that. Definitely got the LCD Soundsystem vibe, by way of maybe Big Country.
Oh, Cut Copy are always so perfect! Actually, new White Lies album was leaked (and maybe also released?) the other day, and they're a pretty similar sound too.
I love Cut Copy so hard. I saw them play last summer, and it was a really uneven show, but the high points were very high (i.e., Hearts on Fire, Out there on the Ice). Looking forward to the new album…
