Cut Copy Set the Interface on 'Fire'

Australian electronic trio Cut Copy brought their beats and handclaps to our New York studio, performing tracks off their sophomore disc, 'In Ghost Colours.' While maintaining its distinctive pop sensibility, the indie dance outfit showed off a more psychedelic, experimental sound.

"'In Ghost Colours' is a progression from the first record ['Bright Like Neon Love'] and reflects the fact we've been playing together for a few years now," frontman Dan Whitford tells Spinner. "It's sort of spacier and more disco than the last one. But there are also more guitar textures throughout as well. The layering is more elaborate than the first one."

In December 2007, the band toured Australia with Daft Punk, along with fellow Aussie acts Van She, the Presets and Muscles. When asked about the tour's massive production, Whitford states, "Seeing a band or a group that you're really into, you can see how it really enhances the whole performance. Maybe there will be a return to that in the future."
