Ok, it’s been a little over most of the year now for a while, so I think it’s right about time to start tossing discs into that legendary album-of-the-year ring and let everyone have a chance to listen to the dang things. My pick, which should come as no surprise to anyone who hears me coming down the street with my boombox, is Cut Copy’s brilliant newest effort “In Ghost Colours”.
I must say, they really hit my buttons pretty hard with this one and just don’t quit until I’m out of breath and panting on the floor; dancefloor that is. I have played out virtually all the playable tracks at one place or another and have never recieved an even lukewarm response out of any of ‘em. So without making too much of a fuss about it, and because the Ausie blokes are on their way over here to Chicago next week (sold out… sniff) I thought I would prod my readers to get out there and check the album. And here, as a proverbial carrot on a proverbial stick, is my favorite album cut “Nobody Lost, Nobody Found”.
Do me a favor and listen to the album; getting one song off of a blog and running to your friends with new hot shit is all well and good (my blogroll is LARGE, trust the experience here) but this LP burns all the way through. This song that you’re listening to -at least I hope you’ve started listening to (sheesh)- is the second to last one on the album and the build all the way to this is worth it, even to those of you out there who think Girl Talk waits too long.
