Cut Copy's Bright Like Neon Love came out in early 2004, back in the mesozoic era blog era. People kinda slept on it, but then they woke up and told the rooster that Cut Copy is pretty much the bright burning morning sun of this indie dance thing. Tim Goldsworthy, Chad to James Murphy's Pharrell, produced their upcoming record, In Ghost Colors. The title sounds like that Radiohead album, but the album sounds like everything I imagined the second Rapture would be. No offense; I guess imagined the KLF and love songs, not Brooklyn fun times. Anyway, I guess that's why this video looks like the album art from the first Rapture album. It's dreamy.

This video is about joy, community and Baltimore, Maryland and does an incredible job of capturing a band in context. It reminds me a lot of the group portrait of No Age, the Smell, and their friendly family of Weirdo Rippers, and that's an important thing to remember: positive communities can create support great art!
