The delightfully ethereal vibes of Cut Copy's sophmore album, have entered ear cavities everywhere.

The Big Apple's best banshee rockers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs have recorded their own take of fellow skinny-legged NYC legends The Ramones' "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker", a teenage rebellion ripper that will feel just as goddamn awesome blasting from your speakers as the original did back in 1977. The track was recorded for War Child's fifth album, Heroes, from which all the proceeds go to protecting and aiding chidren affected by war. Find out more at warchild.org.uk.

Having delivered us party anthems "Lights & Music" and "Hearts On Fire", Aussie electro dreamboats Cut Copy show us their softer side with new single, "Far Away". Dan Whitford's heavenly voice will surely hit the heart, a song of prose to make any girl (or boy) weak from the waist down. From the cool calm and collected verse of synth driven disco, to the build up into fast paced, beatastic chorus, the track takes many a turn. A turning of the other cheek, a moody stripped back break down revelaing Cutter's sensitive side. A top notch number, from a top notch bunch of boys.
