Cut Copy Bassist Releases First Solo EP

Ben Browning, bassist of Cut Copy, recently released his first solo EP, Lover Motion. Gus Franklin and Haima Marriott embellished tracks in post-production while Cut Copy keyboardist Dan Whitford added retro synthesizers to enhance that classic 80s sound. 


The first track, "I Can't Stay", features a catchy chorus and funky bass and drums that would fit well on any Cut Copy album. "Night Dunes" is a slow yet grooving electronic interlude while "Feels Like" is an upbeat tune, feeling like it danced its way right out of the 1980s. "Mistaken Images" makes me imagine The Beatles with synthesizers. And wrapping up the EP is "Bullet Island" which builds from two guitars into intense talk-back between synthesizers, guitars, synth drums, and Browning's thumping bass guitar. The EP is quite dynamic and very enjoyable to listen to. Lover Motion was released on Cut Copy's very own record label, Cutters Records. Browning is currently based in Melbourne, Australia.
