Cut Copy are back with a new single from their first studio album in four years. Their second single from Haiku From Zero, “Standing In The Middle Of The Field” is an uplifting tropical ballard featuring their signature synth lines and bouncy percussion. After catching these guys at Splendour In The Grass, I have a newfound appreciation for their music and am very excited about the upcoming album.
In a recent press release, lead singer Dan Whitford explains that 'so much of this album is about this mosaic of information, images that we're surrounded by on a day-to-day basis, sometimes it feels like overload, but there's a weird random beauty in it. The idea of squeezing poetry from chaos was where the title of the album came from – the idea of finding something poetic in the overload.'
Haiku From Zero is out 22nd September.
