With one of the albums of the year (In Ghost Colours - reviewed) under their belt, DiS asked Antipodean dancefloor-gazers Cut Copy to put together the following tape for you. First a quick note from the band...
Talking travels:
“The road has been our mistress for the past six months and will continue to be for the remainder of the year... It’s amazing what you find to pre-occupy your time while touring. Instead of snorting cocaine off Peter Seeger LPs and drinking our weight in moonshine, we’ve opted for something more wholesome. The last American tour we really got into the NBA playoffs and on our most recent tour of the UK it’s been chess. We’re still trying to find that perfect espresso and we recently bought the Dennis Wilson re-issue of Pacific Ocean Blue to compliment that endless summer we're chasing.
Godspeed,
Cut Copy”
