Brand New Order


Cut Copy's long awaited follow-up to 2004's slept-on Bright Like Neon Love is slated to drop in the United States on April 8th courtesy of Modular. Knowing that you can't (or shouldn't want to) wait that long, and seeking to deny leakers the moral high ground, the band have posted In Ghost Colours for streaming in its entirety over at their MySpace. It's sort of a shamelessly brilliant/brilliantly shameless rip of New Order at their most rock-centric, and it's destined to be one of the most nakedly pleasurable pop albums of 2008.

Addendum: Cut Copy have also posted an mp3 of their So Cosmic mix, which I suppose serves as a kind of prologue for the upcoming album. Download it from their blog, complete with annotated tracklisting.
