Haiku from zero

"Cut Copy's trademark positive pop is starting to wear thin on fifth album. Haiku From Zero is an enjoyable record filled with playful melodies and catchy hooks, but its easy-going nature ultimately results in the album feeling a little vapid, and lacks enough ingenuity to feel vital or arresting. There are highlights across the album for sure, but they come drowned out by stagnant song formats that do little to excite or innovate. Haiku From Zero is at its best when it deviates from these direct structures and explores a more introspective, calculated sound".

"The Australian band's reverence for reference is part of their allure and their fifth album sticks to the tried-and-true pop formulas of the past".
