Aussie electro-pop wizards Cut Copy are back to bless your playlists (and your vinyl shelves) with not one, but two shimmering new tracks: the punchy single “Solid” and its vibey companion “A Decade Long Sunset.” Both arrive on a gloriously pretty, limited-edition 12-inch vinyl — shipping in late June and looking like a tie-dye popsicle you’re not allowed to eat (but are allowed to dance to).
It’s been a hot minute — their last album was 2020’s Freeze, Melt — but frontman Dan Whitford assures us it was worth the wait. “Solid,” their first new single in five years, sprang to life from the chaos of recent years (personal, global…you know, just everything). What started as an instrumental morphed into a synthy anthem about resilience and staying true to your vision when life flips upside down. Basically, it’s musical comfort food with a BPM boost.
Flip the record and you’ll drift into “A Decade Long Sunset” — less a song, more an epic daydream. Picture dawn breaking, neon streets flickering, highways stretching endlessly, and festival crowds vibing in slow motion. To amp up the cinematic magic, they recruited Graham Lee (yes, that Graham Lee — KLF collaborator and member of The Triffids) on pedal steel guitar, weaving psychedelic textures that sound like your brain is melting in the nicest way possible.
Oh, and did we mention the vinyl itself? It’s transparent coke bottle clear with yellow, blue, and green splatter — limited to just 500 copies. Basically, if Willy Wonka made records, it’d look like this.
