 Cut Copy wraps third album (2010)

My huge readership may recall Cut Copy’s fanfuckingtastic In Ghost Colours LP was my favourite record of 2008, and my second favourite of the entire decade.

Great music should grow on trees. But it doesn’t, and thus my heart happily skips beats when little bitty favourite band updates trip across the internets. Case in point, the all-systems-go build-up to the as-yet-untitled new Cut Copy record, scheduled for a February 2011 release.

The stomping, vocal-heavy “Where I’m Going” quasi-single was posted in mid-July, indicating a fleshier, ever-more song-oriented approach in the Cutters’ evolutionary path.

This clip’s an approved trailer for the impending LP. It’s also a moderately aggravating piece of jump-cut editing. Still, it’s nice watching Dan Whitford rifle through his impressive vinyl stash. Best part runs from 4:05-4:45, as he rocks a Casio VL-1 drum machine pattern that is VERY familiar to mine ears (I have the same mid-80s vintage keyboard!) and spins Bowie’s deep-Philly classic, “Win.”

Which is what I expect the next Cut Copy record to do, by the way.
