Between touring around the world and back home here in Australia and releasing their third album Zonoscope, somehow bassist Ben Browning found the time to write his debut solo EP “Lover Motion,” which is released today on the band’s own Cutters Records.
The surprise EP comes while Cut Copy are hard at work on the follow-up to Zonoscope, which peaked at #3 here on the ARIA Charts and managed a respectable #46 on the Billboard Charts in the United States, scoring the band a Grammy nomination for best Best Dance/Electronica Album.
Most of the basic tracks were home spun, and afterward, the talents of Gus Franklin and Haima Marriott (Architecture in Helsinki) were enlisted to add production and shimmer to the finished product.
The pair re-effected and mixed the recordings, with Franklin and Lachlan Dickie (one half of film directing duo Krozm) also providing live-drums to some of the original tracks.
Meanwhile, Cut Copy’s own Dan Whitford reached into his collection of vintage synths to provide keyboard programming, producing some of the classic keyboard tones that lie herein.
The EP is available on iTunes everywhere. It is also out on vinyl and CD at all fine shops and online outlets. You can stream the whole EP below.
