So that kinda ugly thing above seems to be Cut Copy’s new logo. Seems a bit ‘Play School’ to me. I saw it and was like, “that doesn’t look very ‘Modular’ to me.” And then I listened to the song and realised that it also didn’t sound much like their old stuff. I don’t want to second guess Cut Copy because everything they’ve put out has been pretty different and all of it is fkn amazing, but this seems like a pretty big move away from the one thing that united their previous music – phat house beats. Opening with what sounds like a sample of Velvet Underground ‘Waiting For My Man,’ it soon moves into a bit of a glam stomp number. The drums all sound live and avoid any ‘four on the floor’ moments, and it has a bit of a mid-tempo strut to it.

It’s actually a pretty cool song, but it’s definitely caught me off guard. It’s like these guys aren’t even an electro band any more. It’s like the whole Mo-gan movement didn’t even happen (not such a bad thing). I wonder what the rest of the album will sound like. Colour me ‘intrigued’ but not ‘convinced.’
