Cut Copy is a GRAMMY® nominated, ARIA award-winning musical act with numerous festival-headling slots and over 1,000 sold-out headline shows spanning several continents to date.
Initially the bedroom recording project of Dan Whitford, Cut Copy evolved into a full-fledged band with guitarist Tim Hoey, drummer Mitchell Scott, and bass player Ben Browning. The quartet’s studio albums include In Ghost Colours, which Pitchfork named as one of the best albums of 2008 and among the top albums of the 2000s, and 2011’s Zonoscope, which won two ARIA Awards and was nominated for a GRAMMY®. Their last album, 2017’s Haiku From Zero, represented the band at their most refined and efficiently emotive.
Cut Copy’s songs have been licensed for use in television, games and commercials, including FIFA 18, Chevrolet, Netflix, Amazon, and Levi’s® #LiveinLevis campaign. DJing and mixes have also been a big part of their identity – from the band’s famed Fabric mix, Fabriclive.29, to the 2014 Melbourne dance compilation, Oceans Apart. In addition to headlining massive sold-out shows, the band has gained prime slots at prestigious festivals such as Coachella, Ultra, and Lollapalooza in the U.S.; Primavera in Spain, Pitchfork in Paris; Summer Sonic in Japan; and Big Day Out in Australia.

CUT COPY
RETURN WITH FIRST SINGLE & VIDEO IN THREE YEARS
“LOVE IS ALL WE SHARE”
OUT NOW
VIA CUTTERS RECORDS / THE ORCHARD
Melbourne electronic music royalty, Cut Copy return today with their ambient new single and video, “Love Is All We Share.” The first track in almost three years breathes a universal truth, released to the world at a time where our longing for love in solitude has never been more relevant.
As one of Australia’s most successful exports, with a career spanning nineteen years, five acclaimed albums and countless anthems, Cut Copy’s anticipated return forgoes the danceability factor to deliver a timely reminder of our common need for connection in isolation. The atmospheric release rides the intensity and transcendence of our yearning for love, with Dan Whitford delivering haunting lines like “can you feel it in your bones, can you feel it in your fingers,” tapping into the physicality of the complex set of emotions. The purposeful lyrics are layered with intelligent production, playing out an intense build of staggering piano vamps and billowing synths, to mimic the euphoric highs of love and our limitless desire for more.
Dan Whitford on the new track:
“Love Is All We Share” is a song we made using only a handful of sounds, hoping to create an intimate and unworldly atmosphere. It was written a year ago about the anxieties of imagined future times, as technology becomes more all-consuming. But in light of recent events the song took on an eerie significance. Now, with our immediate future uncertain and people the world over self isolating, “love” more than ever, feels like one of the best things we can share.”
Directed by American contemporary artist Takeshi Murata, the accompanying video communicates the track’s themes through his work in hyper-realism and computer-simulated imagery, creating an entrancing space of interconnected digital sculptures. Murata says on the video: “Of the ideas we had, the floating bubbles stood out – representing elements of the song best with animation that’s meditative. For me, the bubbles point to our relationships and their fragility, relevant to the lyrics and time.”
“Love Is All We Share” is the first taste of new music since 2017’s highly acclaimed Haiku From Zero, which was named Double J Feature Album and rounded out the fifth full length from the bands’ prolific catalogue. Born from a bedroom recording project by Whitford, and expanding to a full-fledged band with guitarist Tim Hoey, drummer Mitchell Scott, and bass player Ben Browning, Cut Copy’s output has stood the test of time. Their unique sound and unencumbered taste has earned praise locally and globally, remixing numerous singles, performing on the likes of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and picking up nominations for several awards. 2008’s In Ghost Colours, featuring “Lights & Music” and “Hearts on Fire” received nominations for the ARIA Awards’ Best Dance/Electronic Album and Album of the Year at the J Awards, while 2011’s ARIA chart-topper Zonoscope was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the Grammy Awards and awarded Best Dance Release at the ARIA Awards.
Despite almost three years having passed since we have heard from the adored band, “Love Is All We Share” is a track that comes at the time we need it most.

SHARE REMIX OF LATEST SINGLE
“LOVE IS ALL WE SHARE” (PATRICK HOLLAND REMIX)
OUT NOW
VIA CUTTERS RECORDS / THE ORCHARD
After making their comeback earlier this month, electronic music favorites, Cut Copy, are back today to share the Patrick Holland (aka Project Pablo) remix of “Love Is All We Share.”
Transporting audiences away from the original’s warm, ambient atmosphere, Patrick Holland arrives with a club-ready rendition of “Love Is All We Share,” repurposing the track’s sentiment into a body-moving yearning and the dance floor comfort that Cut Copy enthusiasts have been seeking worldwide. A stark contrast in tempo and pace, Holland expertly propels the re-imagination into the dance realm with tinges of welcome techno beats and layered production.
Based out of Montreal, Patrick Holland has released music over the years under a variety of aliases, most notably Project Pablo & Jump Source. While also running a string of labels, ASL Singles Club, SOBO and his own personal imprint Verdicchio Music Publishing, Holland recently released his highly anticipated debut EP, Simstin.
Dan Whitford on the remix: “I’ve been a fan of Patrick Holland’s work for a while now under his Project Pablo alias and now, emerging under his own name. When we received his remix of ‘Love is All We Share’ it felt like something special; Taking the emotive qualities of the original song and reshaping it as a euphoric house jam. It’s not easy finding a track that works seamlessly in a DJ set yet also still feels like an actual ’song’ that you could listen to at home, and I love that this remix feels right in either context.”
“Love Is All We Share” is the first taste of new music since 2017’s highly acclaimed Haiku From Zero, which was named Double J Feature Album and rounded out the fifth full length from the bands’ prolific catalogue. Born from a bedroom recording project by Whitford, and expanding to a full-fledged band with guitarist Tim Hoey, drummer Mitchell Scott, and bass player Ben Browning, Cut Copy’s output has stood the test of time. Despite almost three years having passed since we last heard from the adored band, “Love Is All We Share” is a track that comes at a time we need it most. Now with a thumping remix from Patrick Holland to pick up the pace, Cut Copy fans can get the best of both worlds from the beloved act.

CUT COPY ANNOUNCE SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM
FREEZE, MELT
OUT FRIDAY, AUGUST 21
+ SHARE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO
“COLD WATER”
OUT TODAY VIA CUTTER RECORDS / THE ORCHARD
Electronic favorites Cut Copy are back today to share their new single, “Cold Water.” Arriving alongside the track is the greatly anticipated announcement of the four-piece’s sixth studio album, Freeze, Melt, dropping on Friday, August 21.
Following their highly welcomed return in May with “Love Is All We Share” – a tribute to yearning for connection in the times we’re facing – “Cold Water” continues the beloved Australian export’s long-standing career that retains a fond danceability only Cut Copy can replicate between fans. Every part visceral, as implied, frontman Dan Whitford’s voice lifts and carries on top of stoic chiming machine melodies that lap and flow, echoing, “All I need is you”. A kicking beat taps through, as a rich ambience endures across the five-minute piece of elation that speaks to love in a climate of uncertainty.
Dan Whitford on the track: “After extensive touring on our last album, “Cold Water” was one of the first new songs to appear. I’d moved to Copenhagen and had been listening to a lot more ambient and instrumental electronic music and as a result “Cold Water” felt quite different to songs we’d made in the past. It was less dance, but more atmospheric. Also the subject matter explores love in today’s context, where the climate and fate of the planet are becoming increasingly uncertain. Once we’d finished it, it felt like we’d placed a marker in the ground, guiding us in a new musical direction.”
The accompanying music video was made by American contemporary artist, Takeshi Murata, who sheds light imagery, saying it’s, “An open window and the midnight sun-lit ocean: These suggest a shifting in the calm. A late-night anxiety and hypnotizing tension between states of consciousness and dream.”
The single is the second to drop from Cut Copy’s forthcoming album, Freeze, Melt, which will be released on Friday, August 21, nineteen years into their prolific career. The body of work showcases an expansion while maintaining a legacy unmatched in Australian music since their inception. Written during an especially cold Scandinavian winter when Whitford decamped to Copenhagen, the collection takes an evocative turn, finding slowed meaning and influence from the emotional manipulations that feed into their work but have never taken centre stage, ultimately shaping a headier journey inward while lyrically exploring love in strange times.
After returning to Australia and being joined by his bandmates at Melbourne’s Park Orchard Studios to enhance and complete the recording, the record’s sense of place was further enhanced by the mixing contribution of Swedish legend Christoffer Berg (Robyn, The Knife), finishing the record in Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg. The Neve console they used was also used by Bowie/Eno/Visconti to make Lodger, and was also used by Queen, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder and Jonny Cash. The result of finalizing the record at Svenska Studios is a treat for the mind as well as the body.

Their strength is also evidenced by their powerful live shows, which have graced the stages at Coachella, Primavera Sound, and countless other global marquee festivals. Their secret power – being able to convert crowds of thousands into a unified, joyous dancing whole. When you add over a thousand sold-out headline shows over five continents to the mix, you can just about begin to understand their appeal, instantly apparent the minute you step foot inside a Cut Copy concert.
