Genre: Fuzzy, electronic indie pop
Cut Copy return with an album that is somewhat more indie that “In Ghost Colors” with a new layer of retro electronic fuzz. Think Holy Ghost! with funky DFA-ish vibes and a touch of chillwave (whatever that is now)
FCC: Clean
Try: 4, 10, 7

1) 6:09 Bouncy synth opening, lazy vocals. Restrained chorus, builds towards 80s triumphant climax.
2) 5:50 Upbeat, happy, jangly guitars and simple synth chords.
3) 3:34 Sunny indie rock. Drums are loud, vocals not so much. “Yeah” and “woo” backup vocals
4) 5:28 * Cool electro vibes, very tight and controlled. GAPLESS transition to next track!
5) 4:17 * Catchy chorus and funky bass/guitar work. Worriless & GAPLESS.
6) 2:06 Reversed loops and piano improvisation. GAPLESS
7) 4:43 * Arpeggiator action and straightforward drums, retro pop feel
8) 4:07 Lots of action, fast-paced susnny indie rock.
9) 4:37 Cutesy pop sounds, harmless but sweet. Nice breakdown
10) 5:29 * Darker synths and more pronounced drums. Bells ringing in the background. Chorus is pretty standard. GAPLESS (just noise)
11) 15:07 Somewhat rambling, with super long spaced out instrumental outro
