Last Week’s Jams (6.23 – 6.27)

Leave a comment

Okay, so we might have gone a bit overboard somehow. It was just one of those weeks where there were hits everywhere you turned. Austin popped up a ton on our end, with new stuff from Stella and the Very Messed, Whalers, Gus Baldwin, Thanks Light…and some retroactive love for Drunk Uncle and Little Mazarn. Fortitude Valley and the Beths battled it out on the site for pop rock supremacy, but you get to make the call which you love the most. Tons of great records were about too, with new stuff from Jeanines, Ryli, Tom Henry and more. The IT Department popped in with a reminder of Cut Copy‘s new album…plus a touch up on some other great jams from Mac DeMarco to Emily Hines…there’s a little bit in here for you all!

Cut Copy Announces Moments

Leave a comment

To go along with the announcement that their forthcoming album called Moments lands on September 5th, we also get a new song from Cut Copy to get the perverbial juices flowing. “When This Is Over” has a summer vibe to it, pool side, early afternoon, dappled light, but it also has a underlying pensive tone that grows as the song progresses with the late stages of the track completed by children’s choir, apparently from a school just outside Melbourne, to perhaps pay tribute to Talk Talk? I made that last bit up, but the song has that “Happiness Is Easy” thing going for it and Cut Copy has certainly gone from synth pop hits to having more varied and elegant songs woven into their albums.

Anyway, the new track is on the streaming things including bandcamp (below) and the album is up for pre-order now.

I mentioned in the Interpol review how busy it was last week for Austin’s music audience. The tours are touring again.

I’ll keep the review for this pretty brief. I have a big gallery of Cut Copy laying down the hits at Stubbs, trying some new stuff and refreshing the classics. Along for the ride was Suzanne Kraft, thoughtfully crafted songs that served to set the stage.

Have a Nice Weekend + Cut Copy

Leave a comment

What’s a weekend? Is it Blursday yet? As we try to reopen, we must also try to be safe.

Cut Copy provides a beautiful slow jam to ease into whatever evening you think it is and remind you that “Love Is All We Share”.

“It was written a year ago about the anxieties of imagined future times, as technology becomes more all-consuming. But in light of recent events, the song took on an eerie significance. Now, with our immediate future uncertain and people the world over self-isolating, love more than ever, feels like one of the best things we can share. – Cut Copy”

Sanctuary Lakes Share “The Long Fade Away”

Leave a comment

Sanctuary Lakes is the new project of Tim Hoey (Cut Copy) and Andrew Szekeres (Midnight Juggernauts). Their debut album under this name apparently came together internationally, as Hoey in Brooklyn sent some early sketches to Szekeres in Melbourne, and Sanctuary Lakes came together by working on the tracks back and forth. You can acquaint yourself with the result of this collaboration on “The Long Fade Away,” which is a quiet bedroom/ dream pop tune that’s mirrored by the desolation presented in the desert landscape of the video. The track is subtle but evocative–synth and vocals wash over you in gentle waves. Take a peek below and get stoked for the release of their self titled debut LP, which will be out on June 21 via Cutters Records.

Show Pics: Cut Copy @ Stubb’s (3/29)

Last weekend started off with a dance party. Friday may have been the single nicest day of the year; it was like nature was air conditioned. What better way to celebrate than with a show at Stubb’s? How about a little Cut Copy to add to that pleasantry? How about a solid opener like Kauf?

The show wasn’t a total sell out, but it got close which is not really surprising given they were at SxSW. Cut Copy was sharing some new jams surrounded by all the hits. This was the second date of the actual tour after a few small fest sets and aforementioned SxSW action.

Did you go? Did you miss it? Click through and let’s review while viewing all the photos together…

Show Preview: Cut Copy Plays Stubb’s Tonight

Leave a comment

If you don’t know anything about me, know that I will go see Cut Copy any chance I get. Of non-Austin bands, I’d say they are the one band I have seen more times than any other. That kinda snuck up on me. Sure, they played one exclusive party during SxSW and did some DJ sets, but tonight, they play Stubb’s, the unofficial home of Cut Copy in America. I am curious if they are just hanging about, playing Dallas last night, but being almost two weeks removed from SxSW, you have to wonder if they were doing some recording here?

But they are the known here. How about I give some love to the opener? Kauf has been in and out of The Bucket playlist over on Soundcloud. I use that playlist to mix newer faves into other playlists when entertaining. The song featured below is called “Pacify”, a song with an understated elegance that builds, ebbs and peaks before release; Nicole shared it on ATH in late 2016. Maybe also check out “A Ruin”. Hopefully, it will push you over the edge to pick up a ticket, show up early and dance with us.

ACL 2017 In Photos: Saturday – Weekend One

Leave a comment

Time for more photos from the Great Lawn. Thanks for coming.

The Saturday edition of photos features a new local supergroup, a not local supergroup, some singers and song-writers, local heroes and super dance pop. We also pepper in some tribute time for Tom Petty. We heard plenty of Petty covers over the weekend, but the best thing was shutting down all the stages for a moment to playback his rendition of “Freefallin'” from a headlining set a few years back as skydivers jumped out of plane above the festival and floated down with sparkler boots. It was giant sing-along, lighters up.

Bands captured – Ought, Mobley, Capyac, Traveller, Car Seat Headrest, Dreamcar, Thundercat, Angel Olsen, Cut Copy and Spoon

Is America Ready for No Zu?

Leave a comment

nozuI’m not quite sure a lot of people Stateside have heard of No Zu…unless they picked up the Cut Copy compilation Oceans Apart from awhile back.  But, the groove on this track from the Melbourne artists will surely perk up some ears here.  First, there’s that throbbing pulse, yet you can also hear the influence of so many other areas like big band to 80s pop music.  It’s an interesting pastiche, and one that should come across as rather refreshing in a genre that can often grow stale.  You can grab this new single from the band’s new label, Chapter Music, or wait for their next LP on the label early next year; it’s titled Afterlife.

New Ben Browning Cut Isn’t A Copy

Ben Browning is in Cut Copy. I love Cut Copy. What to do when one of the gents does some solo work? Usually it ends up being derivative of the band, but this isn’t the case. It is a very simple and clean synth disco jam, slightly surfy and plenty bright.

“Make It Easy” is the first track available from the pending release called Turns. The record is due in the summer on Yellow Year Records.
