From JanglesIt's Friday. It's a bit gray outside and I'm lacking for sleep. I'm going to keep it simple this week and go for a bit of a pick-me-up. Bright Like Neon Love is Cut Copy's debut album from 2004. They an Australian electro-pop band that brings together a bit of 80s dance music with dreamy vocals and a bit of good 'ole rock. The album immediately lifted the band to comparisons with New Order, The Human League, and even Daft Punk -- some lofty names that speak to the energy and cohesion the albums brings from beginning to end.
