Cut Copy – ‘Take Me Over’

I think my favourite thing about posting the last Cut Copy song, ‘Where I’m Going,’ was the comment: “enough of this lame kumbaya shit. where are the SYNTHS guys!?”

I hate to break it to “simon,” who posted that comment, but he won’t be too much more impressed with ‘Take Me Over.’ This song goes even further in the Fleetwood Mac/Paul Simon (c. Graceland) direction of the previous song. This still sounds a lot like Cut Copy – probably on account of the meodic ‘ooos’ that populate every CC song ever (that’s a good thing) – but it’s definitely a move away from the sound that made them big.

That’s two from two now, which suggests the album as a whole (Zonoscope, pictured above) will be something of a departure. I’m excited either way. Even though the past two singles have grabbed me, I’ve loved everything these guys have put out since and including their I Thought Of Numbers EP and have faith that the album as a whole will be great – it has to be, look at that cover art?
