After Freeze, Melt in 2020, Cut Copy could have gone quiet. Instead, frontman Dan Whitford turned isolation into inspiration—crafting well over 300 demos during the pandemic. When the band reunited in 2024, they were armed not just with melodies, but with a reckless sense of play and sonic possibility. The outcome? Moments, their seventh studio album, arriving September 5 via Cutters Records / The Orchard.
From 300 sketches to nine fully realized tracks, Moments is a radiant, genre-defying journey through ambient bliss, disco-dub euphoria, and dream-pop warmth. It’s an album that pulses with gratitude and perseverance, weaving together fleeting instances into a collective reflection on life’s meaningful rhythms.
Whitford reflects on the time between albums:
“Five years have passed. I had a child, saw friends change, the world shifted… This record has been a way to process it all. We wanted to take that modern, emotional palette and make it more energetic, psychedelic, euphoric. Dance music connects us, and that euphoria underlies everything—we just turned it up.”
The album is anchored by standout singles:
“Still See Love”—an irresistible blend of disco-dub and synth-pop, captured perfectly by Clunk Mag as “euphoric and melancholic.” “When This Is Over”—culminates in an otherworldly choir bridge featuring schoolchildren from Victoria, transforming conflict into catharsis. “Belong To You”, featuring Kate Bollinger and pedal steel by Graham Lee, adds cinematic folk-pop warmth to the mix.
In revisiting their house-inflected roots while layering them with emotional weight and sonic experimentation, Cut Copy achieve something rare: music that’s dancefloor-ready and soul-searching, both.
