They have played with international acts Franz Ferdinand, TV on the Radio, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Junior Senior, amongst others. Cut Copy is signed to the record label Modular in Sydney.
In 2004, Cut Copy released their debut album Bright Like Neon Love. The music is written and produced by frontman Dan Whitford, who is also a graphic designer and DJ. Cut Copy released three singles from this album: "Saturdays," "Future," and "Going Nowhere."
They also released a Fabriclive album featuring a mix of several synth/retro/elektropop songs such as (for example) MSTRKRFT and New Young Pony Club.
Their second album, In Ghost Colours, was released in 2008. Four singles were issued: "So Haunted," "Hearts on Fire," "Lights and Music," and "Far Away."
In 2011, Cut Copy released their third album, Zonoscope, which included the singles "Where I'm Going," "Take Me Over," and "Need You Now." Zonoscope marked the addition of bassist and synthesist Ben Browning to the Cut Copy lineup, making the group a four-piece.

The lyrics to Cut Copy's song "Future" are somewhat vague and can be open to interpretation. However, there is a clear theme of longing in the song, as the singer seems to be wondering where a particular person has gone and whether they will meet again in the future. The repeated refrain of "Gold is the sun" adds a melancholy tone to the lyrics, perhaps suggesting that the person being spoken about has disappeared into the distance like a setting sun.
The repetition of the phrase "Will they meet again one day?" further emphasizes the singer's uncertainty and anxiety about this person's return. The word "future" is also repeated throughout the song, perhaps suggesting that the main focus of the lyrics is on what might happen in the future. However, the line "It's a time to think about the past" suggests that the singer may also be reflecting on memories of the person they are missing.
Overall, the lyrics to "Future" are filled with a sense of yearning and contemplation, as the singer grapples with the uncertainty of whether they will ever see this person again.

Reading this made me tear up. Gonna go get high & do laundry... I hate my lyfe.
High school,
Dont give a fuck wut anyone says.
High school was the best.
I got a free pass to be as stupid as i wanted to
Got to make my friends laugh
Got to make friends
Got to make smiles
Got to make a dream that took over a decade to create
I want to go back.
I want to meet them all again
One day.
