Nick Cave's Birthday Party may have earned international recognition in the '80s, but for most of the '90s and '00s, middling Australian acts like Powderfinger and You Am I were justifiably ignored by almost everyone outside their home country. Cut Copy aren't exactly international chart-toppers, but they're arguably the most important group to emerge from Australia in recent memory. Their kaleidoscopically ambitious 2008 album, In Ghost Colours, has brought much-deserved attention to the vibrant and varied indie scene Down Under—from the hard-charging post-punk of Eddy Current Suppression Ring to the hedonistic acid-house of Canyons. Zonoscope, as a whole, may not qualify as an improvement on Colours, but from the sound of singles like "Take Me Over" and "Need You Now," Australia won't be ceding the spotlight anytime soon.
