Cut Copy Are the New Limp Bizkit!

If blending indie-rock and electronica is to the second half of this decade what mashing up metal and hip-hop was to the first, then consider Australia’s Cut Copy the new Limp Bizkit. Er, that was supposed to be a compliment…
What we’re trying to say is, Cut Copy’s new album In Ghost Colours will catapult them to the frontlines of the indie dance-rock army. The record (which is available for streaming on the band’s MySpace page) is full of music made for the iPod generation. But this isn’t the familiar bass/beat/riff/howl/synth of dance-rock beloved by the skinny-jeaned throngs. The songs are complex, melodic, and above all, earnest. If music is intended to provide a natural high, then expect one brutal comedown. Album is out March 22nd.
