Cut Copy - Zonoscope

Blink and you'll miss a revolution

The kings of indie dance music are back. Cut Copy, whose 2008 release In Ghost Colours set the indie world on fire, return with Zonoscope, a polished and excellent album. The band has refined their style and changed their sound a bit, creating some truly amazing tracks that showcase their versatility. On average, I'd say this album is a beat or two slower than In Ghost Colours, making is slightly less danceable. But these tracks are guaranteed to get your head bobbing and a few of them are sure to be show-stoppers live. Here's a taste:

Buy Zonoscope here. The boys are on tour and will be playing The Riv in Chicago on April 8. If that concert is anything like the show I saw last year late night at the Metro, it should be an incredible time. Buy some tickets and I'll see you there. Spring concert season is upon us!

BONUS: Here's a mixtape Cut Copy released this week. It's an unusual blend of vintage live tracks, dance beats, and electro. Spectacular music to work to.
