CUT COPY cemented themselves as global dance rock sensations with previous albumIn Ghost Colours, amelting pot of crossover anthems and transcendent pop.Zonoscope is a triumphant return and upping of the ante from a band already acclaimed for the consistency and quality of their recorded output. Recorded in Melbourne and mixed in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Deerhunter), Zonoscope paints a mesmerizing picture, conjured by artists at the height of their powers.

‘Dan Whitford and his fellow pop pirates have an incredible sense of juxtaposition, placing tricky and lush pyschedelia alongside the kind of big-screen pop dynamics that have turned them into international festival darlings.’ (LA Times)

‘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.’ (allmusic)

‘Cut Copy will be changing the face of music faster than you can say ‘Kanye’ (NME)
