Cut Copy share ‘Airborne’ video
Cut Copy have shared the official music video for their brand new single Airbone, an infectious track with awesome guitar works, celestial synths and bottom-heavy bassline. The video was directed by Gerson Aguerri (The Vaccines, Breakbot) of the Barcelona-based production company CANADA, and weaves a tale that begins with a mysterious light shooting across the sky, unbeknownst to Cut Copy lead vocalist Dan Whitford, who is composing a new song on his keyboard. Whitford’s quest for a late-night snack turns cosmic as he hits the city streets. Watch it below!


Dan Whitford says,
The video for our song ‘Airborne’ is probably the most interesting and most challenging that I’ve ever been involved in. It was shot in Barcelona, all through the night for three days running and culminated with a final scene with me having not slept for 24 hours and playing a piano on the back of a moving truck. To say it was a once in a lifetime experience is no understatement! Despite the sleep deprivation, Gerson and his team at CANADA did a fantastic job bringing this surreal story to life.

Airborne – Cut Copy’s first official single in four years – gives fans an early glimpse of the new material the GRAMMY-nominated Australian band has been recording in studios around the world. Available for streaming and download HERE, the song was produced by Ben Allen (Deerhunter, Animal Collective) and marks Cut Copy’s first release on Astralwerks.

Cut Copy announced two additional U.S. headline dates – October 3 at Tricky Falls in El Paso, TX and October 4 at The Jones Assembly in Oklahoma City, OK. Cut Copy will also perform at several U.S. festivals this fall, including Luna Lights, CRSSD and Austin City Limits.

Initially a bedroom recording project by frontman 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 four studio albums include 2011’s Zonoscope, which won two ARIA Awards and was nominated for a GRAMMY, and 2013’s Free Your Mind, which Under The Radar awarded 8 out of 10 stars. DJing and mixes have also been a big part of Cut Copy’s identity – from the band’s famed Fabric mix, Fabriclive.29, to the 2014 Melbourne dance compilation, Oceans Apart.
