The synth-pop guys from Australia’s Cut Copy have announced tour dates in North America, which will focus on their soon to be released In Ghost Colours album (out 4/8 in the U.S.). The first of the 20 shows inside North America is slated for March 10 at L.A.’s Echo, which has already sold out! The end of the tour is scheduled for May 17 in Baltimore. Check out their tour dates here.

The group of Dan Whitford, Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott might be best known for their ability to streamline the sound of the 70s and 80s to a modern assortment of clips and catchy beats, as was seen on their debut album, Bright Like Neon Love, but the real appeal of Cut Copy is how much they influence other musicians. The easily remixed sound of Cut Copy has been tweaked or covered by Mercy Arms, Vhs Or Beta, The Presets and many other musicians.

What In Ghost Colours promises is another sparkling effort that has already drawn attention to their re-recording of the club song “Hearts on Fire“. “Lights and Music” is expected to be their first single from the album, and should hit stores by March 1.
