Cut Copy will release a new EP next month that includes a new track as well as a number of remixes.

The Melbourne outfit will release, Far Away EP, in Australia in December.

“We’ve had a few queries so thought we should let you all know that the ‘FAR AWAY’ EP won’t be available in Australia until Saturday December 6th, so you’ll have to wait until then to purchase it from your favourite online distributor,” a post from the band said.

“In the meantime however, we’ve posted up the Hercules & Love Affair remix, as well as new track ‘Sands of Time’ on our myspace page, so you can go take a listen in there. Knightlife has posted his reprise of ‘So Haunted’ on his myspace page and Damn Arms have their ‘Far Away’ mix up too, so go take a listen to these and all their fine tracks as well. Just click through our Top friends to find them.”

Tracklisting for the EP is as follows:
1 Far Away
2 Far Away [Hercules & Love Affair Remix]
3 Far Away [Damn Arms Remix]
4 Far Away [Golden Filter Remix]
5 Hearts on Fire [Aeroplane Pop Mix]
6 So Haunted [Knightlife Sun-Soaked Reprise]
7 Sands of Time (unreleased)
