Cut Copy: Zonoscope

photo: Warwick Baker

Aussie band Cut Copy came up with the memorable album In Ghost Colours in 2008, a blend of dance, Eighties disco, Sixties West Coast pop, and - a rare thing for dance tinged band - meaningful lyrics. The long awaited follow-up Zonoscope sounds like the love child of Echo and The Bunnymen and Duran Duran. A bit of AHDH is lurking in the backbeat.

With their update of psychedelic pop catapulted into the 21st Century, the band paints trippy broad musical sheets with pinpoint precision.

Mitchell Scott: drums
