After posting a handful of new jams online, Cut Copy have today unveiled the artwork and title of their third studio album, the followup to 2008’s critically acclaimed “In Ghost Colours”. It’s called “Zonoscope” which sounds like some crazy Martian device for making automated disco and/or inspecting human orifices. Which is to say, it sounds awesome.
The artwork, by Japanese photo montage legend Tsunehisa Kimura, is just as otherworldly with a post-apocalyptic NYC cityscape engulfed by sweet, destructive waterfalls and low hanging fog.
The album was recorded over a 6 month period in a Melbourne warehouse then mixed in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen who has previously worked with Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley and Deerhunter.
Notes frontman Dan Whitford in a press release: “All the way along we had this weird vision of a tropical, jungle, tribal sound. A place or an idea that we wanted to reach with some of the songwriting; to explore a looping hypnotic trance and revise the whole palette of what Cut Copy was about.”
“Zonoscope” will be released February 4 via Modular Records.
