context_page_description: Cut Copy are an Australian synth-pop band formed in 2001 by DJ Dan Whitford. Initially a home-recording project, the band now also includes Tim Hoey, Ben Browning, and Mitchell Scott. They have released five studio albums and a number of EPs and singles. They achieved breakthrough success in 2008 with their second album, In Ghost Colours. Some of their most well-known singles include "Lights & Music", "Hearts on Fire" and "Take Me Over".
context_section_description: In early September 2013, the full version of the title track to their fourth album Free Your Mind debuted at six specific locations worldwide. Fans were informed that they could visit selected billboards in Mexico, Chile, Australia, two locations in the US (Detroit, and California) and one in the UK at Blaneau Gwent in South Wales. When fans were standing near the billboard, they could open an app which would allow them to stream the track through their smartphones. The track quickly appeared on Triple J's hitlist getting regular airplay. The music video for "Free Your Mind", directed by Christopher Hill and released in October 2013, stars Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård as a cult leader.
  The album Free Your Mind was released on 1 November 2013, reaching the top 20 in Australia, but meeting with minor success in the UK and US charts. After rehearsals in Nashville, Cut Copy embarked on a world tour of North and South America through to Europe and Russia. The music video for "We Are Explorers" premiered in February 2014, followed by the release of the vinyl single "In These Arms of Love" for Record Store Day. The latter was later included in the deluxe re-release of Free Your Mind. In November, the band released a well-received mix album Oceans Apart.
  The band spent most of the 2015 working on the follow-up to Free Your Mind. Another mix album, Forest Through the Trees, was released in June and was followed by a DJ tour.
