This is mostly true, although if you take our word for it, we'd suggest that 'In Ghost Colours' is in fact the best album of 2008 so far.
The cover is rubbish though:
However, unlike The Whip's New Order influenced Northern debut released March this year, Cut Copy's second album (we don't really like the word 'sophomore' so much), takes the same 80s electro sound but puts it outside to mellow in the Melbourne sun first.
The relatively straightforward electro-pop single 'Lights & Music' is probably the least inspiring track on the album, but only due to the quality of the company it keeps. 'So Haunted' updates the pounding indie of Doves for 2008 while 'Feel The Love' sparkles with more summer warmth than early morning sun on an outdoor pool; the sort of which we don't have enough of either in the UK.
'Unforgettable Season' is evidence of what happens when boys with guitars get the fresh air they really ought and 'Hearts On Fire' is a subtle homage to nineties house music – albeit without all the nonsense and smiley face logos.
'In Ghost Colours' is an incredible album, and along with fellows Australian bands Pendulum and The Presets, provide proof that the real sound of modern electro is not found in East London - it's warming itself on the other side of the planet...
'In Ghost Colours' is out now on Modular Records. We recommend...
