How to start a fire: Cut Copy
written by Adam Zucker (Atypicals, Vocals & Guitar)
A year and a half ago, I was sitting in the living room of my shitty apartment with Vince and Hollywood, listening to Cut Copy’s album In Ghost Colours. Until that point, I had been a folk and indie rock guy, a la Bright Eyes or Beck. But something changed in me that day - something monumental – when Vince threw on Strangers in the Wind. What amazed me most was Cut Copy’s “full band” take on electro, and how seamlessly they pulled it off: swirling, psychedelic guitar lines wove between weightless, cosmic synthesizers, while Dan Whitford’s tastefully imperfect voice floated above it all. To this day, I credit Cut Copy with getting me into the house scene as I started working with Atypicals.
So the real question is, when will Australia’s Cut Copy start crushing in the States? With tracks like Hearts on Fire, Lights & Music, Nobody Lost Nobody Found, and of course, Strangers in the Wind, it’s beyond me why they haven’t had much recognition on our side of the pond. Check ‘em out. You owe it to yourself.
