Click to Listen to Cut Copy's Zonoscope Australian synth-pop quartet Cut Copy do the Eighties eerily well.
That's not necessarily the entire case here, but don't doubt the band on this: there are fewer big singles here, and this one isn't likely to spawn multiple indie hits months after its release like the last album.
Review of Zonoscope Album by Cut Copy.
Zonoscope reached number three on the ARIA Albums Chart, becoming the band's second highest-peaking album after In Ghost Colours, which topped the chart in …
"Where I'm Going" is a twinkly, faraway sigh of a song that could pass for Washed Out if it wasn't for the titanic Gary Glitter drum-stomp powering it. With few exceptions, these are a solid collection of dance-rock songs and rock-dance tracks-Zonoscope represents the evolution of a band that knows what it's doing. хотя, для сравнения, говно кат копи намного лучше говна тесла боя.A very solid, if slightly inconsistent, release that self-consciously does away with a lot of what made In Ghost Colours a runaway masterpiece, but hints at a variety of promising new directions that these guys might take. So if it feels a little weird listening to an album of euphoric, starry-eyed dance-rock on earbuds while you're scraping snow-grit off your windshield, keep in mind: Somewhere in the world, someone is probably road-tripping to a swimming hole with this album playing, or eating a popsicle, or playing catch with their dogs while it blasts out of a car stereo or nearby boombox. Reviews Cut Copy Zonoscope Rich Hughes , March 2nd, 2011 11:24. It's another step nearer the masterpiece this band are increasingly capable of delivering. Zonoscope is a deviation with mostly good ideas, some great ones, and enough sparkling synth ambrosia and sing-along chorus hooks to get you through.
I've always felt their previous work sounded extremely spontaneous, fun and still provided uniquely interesting structures like no one else; "Zonoscope" shows another side of Cut Copy: unimaginative, non-unique and flat.
Film.
But it is one that will probably sound better when wafting across a field during festival season. Only complaint is some songs go very long with little change in the repetition, but all the better to dance to at your end of the world party right?After the stellar dance-rock album "In Ghost Colours", I guess they decided to phone this one in. At a time when synth- or electro-pop is as much about affectation and posturing, or minimalism and effects, it's refreshing to hear a band intent on concentrating on the pop element of the equation.
Reviews \ Review: Cut Copy, ‘Zonoscope’ Mikael Wood // February 8, 2011. Thanks to its beauty, warmth, and top-rate songwriting, Cut Copy remain atop the pile of dance-rock groups in 2011, right next to LCD Soundsystem. Interview: Bill and Turner Ross on the Constructions of Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets. Good you have that, because there's hardly anything else of interest on Zonoscope which is an album that is much closer to 2.0 than 3.0. Review: Cut Copy, Zonoscope.
It is so soaked in all the left over, 80'sAfter the stellar dance-rock album "In Ghost Colours", I guess they decided to phone this one in.
Now, with Zonoscope, the experience *should* be there for the taking, but sadly, on my CD copy (and clearly on many others too, judging by these reviews) there are two-second pauses between tracks. XboxOne Full Review 9y
