Cut Copy - Bright Like Neon Love


(8)

In my opinion, this (first) album is better than their second. It's a lot darker, which really brings out the neon sounding electronic pop. I feel that these Australians were the 'creators' of the whole glo-fi/chill wave movement today. The vocals aren't are faded and washed out, and it's not lo-fi in anyway, but the roots are really there, just listen closely. There's a good amount of diversity, Saturdays (reprise) is a short post punk rendition. Twilight is heavily influenced by the early 80's post punk bands as well, where club dance music has it's roots interestingly enough.

My favorite track is Zap Zap. it really is a memorizing danceable retro hit.
