Cut Copy


"Freeze, Melt" is the sixth studio album by Australian electronic music band Cut Copy, released on August 21, 2020. This album signifies a departure from the group's usual dance-pop sound, leaning more towards ambient and experimental music. The album was primarily recorded in Copenhagen, with the city's icy and chilly winter season instrumental in inspiring the album’s tone and aesthetic. Lead singer and guitarist Dan Whitford said that "Freeze, Melt" was an attempt at creating patient, ambient music that provided a much-needed antidote to the fast-paced, immediate gratification of the current times. The album received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Overall, "Freeze, Melt" is regarded as a more mellow and deeply emotive journey, a contrast to Cut Copy's typically energetic sound, reflecting the cool, introspective period of its creation. The key tracks from the album include "Like Breaking Glass," "Cold Water," and "Running in the Grass".
