Cut Copy Aim to Transcend on Soulful ‘Take Me Higher’

Cut Copy 'Take Me Higher' Stream Free Your Mind

Cut Copy are aiming for transcendence on their new album. Not for, like, criticspeak “transcendence,” but for the actual thing, apparently. Entitled Free Your Mind, the November 5 LP has already blessed us with the hippie-dippie titular song (plus that video starring True Blood‘s Alexander Skarsgård as a half-naked cult leader), and also the Summer(s) of Love-inspired “We Are Explorers” — both of which are as soulful and wholesome as they are futuristic and danceable. Now via Stereogum comes the Melbourne band’s “Take Me Higher,” which opens with a folksy guitar figure and a moaned ohm, and soon finds the beat. Enjoy those ecstatic six-minutes below, whose keys and drum-work hark back to the Rolling Stones a might bit.
