“masterful”—EDM SAUCE
AIRBORNE: “a disco-pop odyssey that sounds like, well, soaring through the sky, before eventually blasting off into psychedelic bliss” –STEREOGUM
“Cut Copy soar towards psychedelic bliss on new song ‘Airborne’”—Consequence Of Sound
“"Airborne" percolates with baubles of percussion, Nile Rodgers-esque disco guitars, and vocal samples all buffed to a sheen. It is classy as shit, and it's definitely a "match your steps to the tempo of the song as you walk down the street" kind of jam.” –NOISEY
“Cut Copy's Funky "Airborne" Is Like Putting on a Crisp New Pair of Shades” –NOISEY
“Get your sunglasses and dancing shoes on and stream "Airborne" –NOISEY

STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD: "On ‘Standing in the Middle of the Field,’ the quartet’s vibrant synthesizer antics are at their most fine- tuned. Opening with a merry melody of xylophones, cowbells, and drum pad strikes, the song is a spirited bop with some sly pensive tension at its core…With it, Cut Copy reassert their ability to turn even moody introspection into floor-filler bliss." PITCHFORK
“’Standing in the Middle of the Field,’…builds slowly up from a sort of Congolese-sounding thumb piano loop before reaching stadium-sized liftoff about two-thirds of the way through.” –SPIN

“’Standing in the Middle of the Field,’…features a bouncy, tropical instrumental underneath Whitford’s airy vocals.”–BROOKLYN VEGAN
