It took me a lit­tle while to warm up to Aus­trali­a’s Cut Copy, a band I first saw at the Rhap­sody Rocks par­ty at SXSW. Now I’ve fall­en in love with their lat­est album, In Ghost Colours. It’s got the glitchy bril­liance that I loved about Beta Band, with some of the splashy synths that made me swoon for Depeche Mode as a kid. Dan Whit­ford’s vocals cer­tain­ly war­rant that com­par­i­son, espe­cial­ly on their first sin­gle, “Lights and Music.”

Watch them per­form “Lights and Music” in this video from Pitch­fork TV.
