Sounds like Metronomy.

I do like that tune though, I am looking forward to hearing the album. Good summer music I reckon.

They're just a bit 'hmm' though ain't they. Like, nice idea but a bit naff. Same for Passion Pit- you'll like them if you like Empire...

ps
The album is out i think, it's self-titled. It's also very similar to MGMT.

 

[Jam The Man]

I thought Batman was EXCELLENT in it...

Honestly can't get that song of out my head. Incredibly catchy.

 

[Munkfish]

Albums out as tfrd has said, its called walking on a dream, some good tracks.

possibley one of those love it, get bored of it, go back to it and settle on yeah its ok and then onto the next new band.

But at the moment, its up there!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Right then, I'm off to COMPLETELY LEGALLY download that album. Will report back with findings.

 

[NickL]

The first half of the album is great but falls away a bit towards the end.

Standing On The Shore and We Are The People are the stand out tracks imo.

Luke Steele - singer with the marvellous The Sleepy Jackson.

They've been out in Oz for the last six months. Walking on a dream was one of the tunes of 2008.

 

[AlbionKebabs]

They are kwalla, and a kwalla video to match. Any of you cats who are a fan of them may like these too:

YouTube - Cut Copy - Hearts on fire

YouTube - Cut Copy - Feel The Love

There are some nice sounds coming out of the land of oz at the moment

[CHAPPERS]

Did you download it chappers?

I did but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Listened to it! Very enjoyable. Will listen again.

 

[NMH]

Almost an exact emulation of what MGMT have been doing.
Injecting 'disco Bee Gees' vocals into pained indie angst, they even try to adopt the MGMT look and attitudes.

Although I find them 'okay', I have to ask why every semblance of a unique band that emerges, they have to get aped by others? It's bad enough that most in the charts are covers or rereleases, or rechurnings of has-been style that someone's trying to squeeze the last drop out of - now anything reasonable gets carbon-copied immediately!

 

[Stevie Boy]

anyone know when the album is out, or is it out?

 

[NickL]

It's out now.

 

[bellsize seagull]

yes cracking new band but buy both Cut Copy albums to give your ears the best thing to come out of Aus land !

 

[Mellotron]

Good current electro rock bands:

Cut Copy
The Knife
Neon Neon
She Wants Revenge
