What a great week for music this has been, two great artists albums have leaked and they both sound phenomenal. Cut Copy's In Ghost Ghost Colours and M83's Saturdays = Youth are two excellent releases which have jump started what has been a lackluster (when compared to 2007) first two months of music. Both revel in electronic goodness, and are better than their respective band's previous releases. You can be the judge of that as well, listen to these cuts from the albums...
Cut Copy - Nobody Lost, Nobody Found
I am in love, Cut Copy never fail to deliver danceable synth and guitar driven songs. I'm seriously in love with every track on the album! Even the at first awful So Haunted, yes even that song has grown on me. This record is bigger, louder and more bombastic than Bright Like Neon Love. Expect their songs to be everywhere, on the radio, (unless you live in America) at the store when you shop and on TV. Nobody Lost, Nobody Found is the second to last track on the album and gives the listener a last chance to dance to a fast paced up tempo song before the, as expected, slow and somber closing commences. Keep checking for more cuts from this great record.
You can't preorder In Ghost Colours just yet, but in the mean time pick up the Light and Music EP off iTunes.
This song is pretty funny, it starts off sounding like a modern 80's pop-rock song, if that makes any sense. The vocals only add to this assertion as a very 80's bass and dated synth accompany such faux delivery. Even the riff reminds me of something 80's, like Jessie's Girl or Dancing With Myself. This is by no means a knock on the track, its killer, and I think M83 pulled it off well. It's just a tick funny when you listen to this and think about this being the same guy who wrote Car Chase Terror. A testament to his skill, I suppose? This album is far more diverse than all of M83's other work, here we see him trying an array of new things and most of them work well. As with Cut Copy, stick around for more cuts form the album.
Make sure you buy the Couleurs EP off iTunes!
Now for a little electro-house, courtesy of Curses. I've been a fan of Curses for awhile now, but I haven't really listened any tracks by the dude for quite some time. I just got this ep and it is amazing! The track I have posted is a monster, clocking in at 8 minutes long. And it's definitely worth it, it will keep your interest!
Buy it for a very low price here.
And finally, another track from Canadian based Crystal Castles. Random CC fact for the day: Did you know their name is derived from an old Atari video game? I bet you didn't know that, well now you do and don't you feel so much better? I don't have much to say about this song other than it's amazing, you should listen to it and that Crystal Castles are pretty fuckin awesome. Check out this interview and see for your self how fucking amazing they are...
(Make sue you buy the album off iTunes!)
I can tell you that, if I were in a band that would be exactly how I would act. Later.
