22. CUT COPY

Sunday, August 23, 2009

one of the seven wonders of the world, cut copy's tracks from before bright like neon love, just got posted on nonacíenmanchester. tracks are from one of their first ep releases "i thought of numbers" (2001). this was when cut copy sounded way way different but still way sick. i had two of these tracks already: "rendevous" and "drop the bomb" because they were once, long ago, on cut copy's myspace and i audio hijacked them, but "standing up sitting down" is new to me. check it.

Cut Copy - Rendezvous (via NNM)
an old favorite! very similar to their track "stars." i might put that up for everybody at a later date, because it's really rad. lots of high snare that sounds like clapping, you know the drill.

Cut Copy - Standing Up Sitting Down (via NNM)
i think this samples da funk, it's real dope though

also: i am desperately looking for their first track "1981" (not to be confused with twilight) and have been looking for it forever. i strongly recommend checking out the music video. there are a couple of mp3 versions out there, but the audio quality is pretty bad. if anyone know the whereabouts of a good version please hit me up!

also big thanks to NNM! great post!

"Glittering Clouds" was what initially got me into Cut Copy, and I've been searching for "I Thought of Numbers" ever since I first heard it. Thanks for the link, I've been totally addicted to these tracks. Curious to know all of the lyrics of "1981", as it was a pretty important year in the history of New Wave.

i don't know the words- but i'm pretty sure it samples blue monday (new order). pretty rad!
