Cut Copy – Moments (Red Vinyl)

Moments is the seventh studio album by Cut Copy, released in September 2025. Genre-wise, it sits in synth-pop / electronic / indie dance territory, combining ambient textures, disco-dub grooves, and the band’s signature melodic flair. The album includes nine tracks including “Gravity,” “Belong To You” (featuring Kate Bollinger), “Solid,” “When This Is Over,” and the title track “Moments.” It follows their quieter ambient-leaning prior record Freeze, Melt, but adds more expansive arrangements and a nostalgic lustre.

Compared to their earlier high-energy albums, Moments is more reflective and mature. Cut Copy balance lush production and emotional intimacy with moments built for the dancefloor—synth hooks, shimmering electronics, and rhythmic drive. The vocals are softer, the instrumentation more textured, and there’s a sense of lived experience threaded through—changes in life, love and the passage of time. The album may not reinvent the wheel, but it refines Cut Copy’s strengths, offering warmth, sophistication and a willingness to let the music breathe.

Reviews

“Moments is significantly mellower than early favourites that established Cut Copy’s reputation, and won’t shift the needle in the same way as, say, Bright Like Neon Love (2004) and In Ghost Colours (2008).” — Double J

“Moments takes the introspection of 2020’s ambient-leaning Freeze, Melt and pairs it with more fleshed-out arrangements, giving Cut Copy a new sense of sophistication.” — Treblezine

“Cut Copy return with Moments, an album that feels both reflective and revitalized. It captures the way the band has lived through personal and collective change and channels those experiences into songs that balance emotional depth with the energy of the dance floor.” — mxdwn Music
