Following
the release of their shimmering sophomore LP In Ghost Colours, Cut Copy
release their second single 'Hearts On Fire' . Long a fan favourite and
a staple of Australian alternative radio, 'Hearts On Fire' is a
future-classic sax-house anthem for the ages; an epic rush of pumping
bassline, clipped disco drums and a jacking hip house break, sprinkled
with a good helping of DFA magic dust in the production department.
The
video, shot on location in Japan by the acclaimed Nagi Noda, is an
endlessly eccentric, touching take on a classic story of the
heartbroken, lovelorn lead, played by frontman Dan Whitford. Ever felt
like there's a black cloud hanging over your head? Let's hope you
haven't had it this bad...
Tokyo-based Nagi Noda is
well-established as one of Japan's leading art directors, and one of
the most in demand video and commercial directors in the world.
Renowned for her uniquely quirky, surrealist style, her previous works
include videos for Scissor Sisters and Tiga, the White Stripes' Coca
Cola commercial, as well as an array of groundbreaking short films that
have long been Youtube favorites. The video is included on the cd, the
second format is a limited 12".
'Hearts On Fire'
release is a sparkling package including remixes by Calvin Harris,
Midnight Juggernauts, Knightlife and Holy Ghost.
