from the LP In Ghost Colours, Modular Recordings, 2008Where Neon Indian merely channeled the ghosts of Fleetwood Mac in his “Should Have Taken Acid With You”, Aussie chill-out gurus Cut Copy manage to completely re-interpret “Gypsy” on this standout cut from their second longplayer, taking the best accouterments that new wave & yacht rock have to offer and baking them into a cloud-like soufflé, like washing a couple Somas down with a spliff and a mimosa, then going for a walk on a breezy, sunny Colorado day…or so I’ve heard (eternal love to my “stoned mimosa Saturdays” crew). The gap between their first LP and this one was a grueling four years, but if waiting means they will keep the quality level as high as it’s been in the past, I’m willing to wait; although, just two years out, I’ve played this album to death and could sure use a 7” or something to tide me over… Toss us a bone mates!
