Cut Copy have dropped their seventh album and first in five years, titled Moments.

The album sees the Melbourne-born group return with their synth-heavy sound forged during the early noughties. Having previously released singles “Solid”, “Still See Love”, and “When This Is Over”, Moments also features a collaboration with American folk singer-songwriter Kate Bollinger on “Belong to You”.

Cut Copy founding member Dan Whitford said the track was “was one of the first tracks I wrote for our new album” and “immediately felt like a pop song waiting to happen.”

“The song is written about a guy who obsesses about past mistakes without realising that the love he’s searching for has been right in front of him all along,” said Whitford.

“Around the time we were working on this song, a friend introduced us to Kate Bollinger who is an amazing LA singer and songwriter. So we asked her to try a little vocal idea and that’s how the song took shape.

“When I heard Kate’s voice in the track it sounded amazing. I could almost imagine it as some kind of sci-fi country love song, so to bring that energy to it, we asked “Evil” Graham Lee (from legendary Australian band The Triffids) to provide his signature pedal steel sound. And that was the final piece of the puzzle that gave the song its magical finishing touch.”

Whitford added that it was a “real treat” to work with two artists that may “come from such different places musically, but complimented each other perfectly.”
