Australian indie electronic trio Cut Copy take many of their cues from contemporaries like Air, Daft Punk, and LCD Soundsystem, but with a distinctly pop sensibility that draws on classic AM radio pop singles from the 1970s and '80s, with elements of vintage disco and synth pop that appeal to song-based listeners as well as the club kidz. Cut Copy started in 2001 as a solo project by songwriter, producer, and DJ Dan Whitford, who released the single 1981 and the EP I Thought of Numbers before drafting in other members to fill out his synth and sample-based sound. Bassist and guitarist Tim Hoey and drummer Mitchell Scott debuted on Cut Copy's first full-length album, Bright Like Neon Love, released in the summer of 2004. After several successful singles were spun off the album (including Saturdays, Future, and Going Nowhere), Universal's Island Records imprint picked up the trio's international distribution in 2006. Following an inventive Whitford live DJ mix that was released in 2006 as Fabriclive.29 (including such unexpected delights as Ciccone Youth's noisy deconstruction "Into the Groovey" and Roxy Music's suave "Angel Eyes" alongside the usual Goldfrapp and Soulwax), the band proper returned in early 2007 with the new single Hearts on Fire. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Named after the geometrical term for a non-orientable surface that cannot be embedded in a plane, the Mobius Band's music is similarly hard to place, lying somewhere between bittersweet indie rock, electronic pop, and alt-country leanings. The band, which features Peter Sax, Noam Schatz, and Ben Sterling, spent its early years in Shutesberry, MA, and self-released two EPs, Two and Three, in 2002. Ghostly International signed the Mobius Band and the group worked with producer Peter Katis in New York on new material. Early in 2005, the aptly named City vs Country EP found the group moving in a more poppy, streamlined direction, a trend continued by that year's full-length debut, The Loving Sounds of Static, as well as 2007's Heaven, released on Misra.
