Now that they’re done promoting their “Free Your Mind” single via a few strategically placed billboards, Cut Copy have gone ahead and revealed the rest of the details about their fourth album. Due out November 5th through Loma Vista/Modular, Free Your Mind was produced by the band’s frontman/founder (Dan Whitford) and brought into full relief at the magical mixing desk of Dave Fridmann. According to a press release, “The record was strongly influenced by the two ‘Summers of Love,’ which were birthed from burdening times—Vietnam and 10 years of Thatcher’s reign—though they were one hell of a party. Through unprecedented explosions of youth culture, communal elation and celebration, these eras provided a spirit that the band embraced—the need to tear down the walls of perception while creating a fantasy of what the next youth revolution might sound like.”
“The concept of freedom is one that’s universally positive and timeless,” explains Whitford, “and whatever each person’s version of that freedom is, it’s a good thing to be reminding people or even just ourselves to be ‘free.'”
