The Net Monkey

After having listened to the “Saturdays” single for quite some time now, I finally bought the rest of the album by Cut Copy called Bright Like Neon Love. It is one of the few albums I encounter every year which causes me to listen to it over and over. It’s a good thing that I’m single because I would probably annoy the fuck out of my boyfriend, if I had one.

They have a sound which casually reminds me of New Order, but much more contemporary. I do hear what reminds me of the White Stripes or the Coachwhips in the “Bright Neon Payphone” track, but without the expected l0-fi quality. It is the only song which departs drastically from their normal sound. Overall, Cut Copy reminds me of Daft Punk or Felix da Housecat, but sounding much closer to synthpop. If that is the kind of music you like, you should most definitely enjoy Cut Copy. I sure do.
