Zonoscope by Cut Copy
Zonoscope is an album by Cut Copy, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Need You Now”, on 1 list with a best position of #533.
Zonoscope, Cut Copy's third album, arrived on Modular on 4 February 2011, three years after In Ghost Colours had turned Dan Whitford's old home-recording project into an Australian synth-pop force. The band made it in Melbourne in 2010, with Whitford singing and playing keys and guitar, Tim Hoey on guitar, Ben Browning on bass and Mitchell Scott on drums, and this time they chose the long glide over the quick sugar rush: shimmering, looping electronic grooves that let the songs stretch out and breathe.
Critics mostly liked what they heard. It climbed to number three on the ARIA chart, second only to the chart-topping In Ghost Colours among their albums, and at the 2011 ARIA Awards it took Best Dance Release plus an Artisan Award for its cover art, with an Album of the Year nomination on top. The Grammys put it up for Best Dance/Electronica Album the following year.
