Excuse My French recently spoke with Dan Whitford of Australian synth-pop quartet, Cut Copy, ahead of the group’s November 13th performance at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. Tune in on November 5th at 5pm to hear their conversation.
New album, Moments, is a homecoming for the ages, a series of sonic vignettes and moments in time, shaped by a free-wheeling, anything-goes approach to their music-making. Resultantly, the record expertly traverses electronic to synth pop, crossing trip-hop and rock sensibilities between, all threaded together by a simple, collective desire to try and make sense of life’s ups and downs.
Following a period of big life changes, personally and for those around them, the band were compelled to craft a space for escape within the record; on the dancefloor, in a festival crowd, or within the headphones at home – wherever that escape may be required.
Born from a bedroom recording project by Whitford, and expanding to a full-fledged band with guitarist Tim Hoey, drummer Mitchell Scott and bass player Ben Browning, Cut Copy’s discography has endured the test of time, spanning six unique and explorative studio albums, countless remixes and more.
