Guru Josh may not mean much to a lot of you but I could listen to him to infinity. And that’s what springs instantly to mind when listening to the discotastic rumble of Cut Copy’s ‘Hearts on Fire’ (here given a rather splendid remix treatment by fellow Melbourners Midnight Juggernauts). Already onto their second LP Cut Copy have long ago imagined the zeitgeist by twinning the electro with the rock to soundtrack every fashionisto’s perfect soundtrack. ‘Hearts on Fire’ is the trio at the peak of their powers as the song neatly reconvenes that old trick of sounding robotic while still affording humans every opportunity to have the time of their lives (see also Visage’s ‘Fade To Grey‘). If I had one complaint it’s that 4 and a half minutes hardly seems enough to adequately explore all the gifts at play. KD
