Recalling an era when all you needed for a great pop song were some shimmering keyboard melodies, a sexily aloof vocalist, and fashionable outfits, Australian electronic trio Cut Copy sound like they fell into a time warp circa 1981. Heck, their first, vinyl-only single is even called "1981." Taking the bouncy electropop of Depeche Mode and adding Gary Numan-esque synth rock and trashy Euro-disco beats, their sophomore full-length, In Ghost Colours, is remarkably cohesive and supremely danceable. Tonight, the electro-wizards bring their glamour and glitz to the Abbey Pub for two shows with Black Kids and Mobius Band.
