Cults: Cults


So in honor of everyone freaking out about the new Cults album..." OH MY GOD FINALLY, THE FULL LENGTH CULTS ALBUM"... I decided to acknowledge its worthiness as well. Here are a few tracks from their first self titled release and a 'lil info about the band.

Go here to listen to the full release... (its all streaming on soundcloud! love them)

Cults- Oh My God


Cults- You Know What I Mean

and if you've somehow dodged this sonic bullet...

Cults- Go Outside
 




The New York duo made up of Madeleine Follin and Brian Oblivion began making music together in February 2010. They've been sprinkling listeners with a few tracks here and there since then. Earlier this year they were signed to Lily Allen's label In the Name Of and released Cults on June 7th. Produced by Shane Stoneback (Sleigh Bells, Vampire Weekend) the album is laden with infectious choruses and synths/samples that are very reminiscent of 50's sugar pop. The blogosphere is blowing up about it, but so are major music outlets...


“A personality rich debut that transcends its timeworn influences”

“Completely fresh and utterly intoxicating”
