GRAMMY-nominated, Australian electronic icons Cut Copy announce their seventh studio album Moments, set for release on September 5th via Cutters Records / The Orchard. Exuding emotion from start to finish, Moments is a homecoming for the ages, a series of sonic vignettes and moments in time, shaped by a free-wheeling, anything-goes approach to their music-making. Resultantly, the record expertly traverses electronic to synth pop, crossing trip-hop and rock sensibilities between, all threaded together by a simple, collective desire to try and make sense of life’s ups and downs. Following a period of big life changes, personally and for those around them, the band were compelled to craft a space for escape within the record; on the dancefloor, in a festival crowd, or within the headphones at home - wherever that escape may be required.
Cut Copy is a GRAMMY® nominated, ARIA award-winning musical act with 1,000+ sold out headline shows spanning several continents to date.
Initially the bedroom recording project of Dan Whitford, Cut Copy evolved into a full-fledged band with guitarist Tim Hoey, drummer Mitchell Scott, and bass player Ben Browning. The quartet’s studio album, In Ghost Colours, was named one of the best albums of 2008 and of the 2000s by Pitchfork, and 2011’s Zonoscope won two ARIA Awards and was nominated for a GRAMMY®. The band continues to release remarkable works that fans can immerse themselves in.
The band’s songs have been licensed for use in television, games, and commercials, including FIFA 18, Dolby, Chevrolet, Netflix, Amazon, and Levi’s® #LiveinLevis campaign. DJing and mixes have also been a big part of Cut Copy’s identity – from the band’s famed Fabric mix, Fabriclive.29, to the 2014 Melbourne dance compilation, Oceans Apart. In addition to headlining massive sold-out shows, the band has gained prime slots at prestigious festivals such as Coachella, Ultra, and Lollapalooza in the U.S.; Primavera in Spain, Pitchfork in Paris; Summer Sonic in Japan; and Big Day Out in Australia.
